MEAN WELL RPD-65C is a dual-output open-frame AC/DC power supply with 12 V on CH1 and 5 V on CH2. The complete unit is rated 60 W with natural convection or up to 77.1 W with at least 18 CFM forced airflow. Both outputs share GND; observe the individual current limits and short-pulse conditions.

Model and Output Configuration
| Complete model |
RPD-65C. |
| Output arrangement |
CH1: 12 V / 4.5 A; CH2: 5 V / 1.2 A at the catalogue-rated operating point. |
| Combined rated power |
60 W for the complete unit, not for each output. |
| Output returns |
CH1 and CH2 share GND. |
| Factory test |
100% full-load burn-in test. |
Use both channel limits and the combined-power limit together. The channel current-range maxima are not additional independent power ratings.

Combined Loading and Measurement Conditions
Unless otherwise stated, specifications are measured at 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient. Ripple/noise uses 20 MHz bandwidth and a 12-inch twisted pair terminated with parallel 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors. Voltage tolerance includes set-up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
The continuous combined output is 60 W with natural convection and up to 77.1 W with at least 18 CFM forced airflow. Apply the temperature and input-voltage derating curves in either case.
CH1 peak loading is limited to a maximum 10% duty cycle within every second. Average output power must not exceed the 60 W rated power, and output voltage must remain above 90% of nominal. Keep CH2 at its rated load during the CH1 peak.
Input and Timing
| Input range |
90–264 VAC or 127–370 VDC; 47–440 Hz AC. |
| Typical AC current |
1.5 A at 115 VAC; 0.9 A at 230 VAC. |
| Typical cold-start inrush |
25 A at 115 VAC; 50 A at 230 VAC. |
| Leakage current |
Less than 1 mA. |
| Set-up / rise time |
800 ms / 20 ms at full load. |
| Typical hold-up time |
20 ms at full load. |
| Switching frequency |
Fixed at 65 kHz. |
At 60 Hz, the input-voltage curve allows 80% load at 90 VAC, rising to 100% at 100 VAC and remaining at 100% through 264 VAC.
Protection
| Short circuit and overload |
90–125 W output power; hiccup mode with automatic recovery after fault removal. |
| CH1 overvoltage |
13.8–16.2 V; hiccup mode with automatic recovery after fault removal. |
Environment and Derating
| Working temperature |
−20 to 60°C, subject to the applicable derating curve. |
| Operating humidity |
20–90% RH, non-condensing. |
| Storage |
−40 to +85°C; 10–95% RH. |
| Temperature coefficient |
CH1: ±0.04%/°C over 0–50°C. |
| Vibration |
10–500 Hz, 2 G; 10 minutes per cycle and 60 minutes along each X, Y and Z axis. |
For horizontal installation, the thermal curve permits 80% load at −20°C, rises to 100% at −10°C, remains at 100% through 45°C and falls to 50% at 60°C. Apply this curve together with the 60 W convection or 77.1 W forced-air power limit.
Above 2000 m, reduce allowable ambient temperature by 3.5°C per additional 1000 m with fanless cooling, or 5°C per additional 1000 m with fan cooling. Apply all relevant load and installation limits together.
