Product Overview

The MEAN WELL GST18A series is a high-reliability 18W AC-DC desktop single-output green adapter built into a fully enclosed plastic housing. It connects to mains through a 3-pole IEC320-C14 inlet and is a Class I power supply with protective earth. Input range is a universal 85~264VAC, and the series covers nine output voltages from 5V to 48VDC, serving consumer electronic devices, telecom equipment, office equipment and industrial equipment.

Because the input is 3-pole, the chassis is bonded to earth and the unit has passed the LPS (limited power source) test. Withstand voltage is 4242VDC input-to-output and 2121VDC input-to-FG, with insulation resistance of 100M Ohms minimum at 500VDC. The 94V-0 flame-retardant enclosure is fully sealed, so no live part is exposed in normal operation. Note that this is an ITE product: maximum leakage current is 0.75mA at 240VAC, so for patient-contact medical equipment choose a 60601-1 certified adapter from the GSM series instead.

Efficiency reaches 89% on the 48V model with no-load power consumption below 0.075W across the series, meeting Efficiency Level VI and complying with USA EISA 2007/DoE, Canada NRCan, Korea K-MEPS, AU/NZ MEPS, EU ErP and CoC Version 5. Safety approvals cover UL62368-1, CSA C22.2 No.62368-1, TUV BS EN/EN62368-1, BSMI CNS15598-1, CCC GB4943.1, PSE J62368-1, AS/NZS 62368.1, BIS IS13252, KC K60950-1 and EAC TP TC 004, with conducted and radiated emissions held to Class B limits.

The standard DC output plug is the P1J (5.5 x 2.1 x 11mm tuning fork, center positive). In the standard version the negative output is not connected to AC FG; an optional version connects -V to AC FG for installations that need it. Tuning fork, barrel, lock, min. pin, center pin and DIN style plugs can be fitted at the factory, and quick-change DC plug adapters are sold separately with no MOQ. Protections cover short circuit, overload (110%~150% of rated power, hiccup mode with auto-recovery) and over voltage (110%~140% of rated output voltage, diode clamp). The adapter operates from -30C to +70C and is backed by a 3-year warranty.

Both are listed in full in the Input & Protection table below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which safety standards and certifications does the GST18A series carry?

GST18A is certified to UL62368-1, CSA C22.2 No.62368-1, TUV BS EN/EN62368-1, BSMI CNS15598-1, CCC GB4943.1, PSE J62368-1, AS/NZS 62368.1, BIS IS13252, KC K60950-1 and EAC TP TC 004. Conducted and radiated emissions meet Class B limits to BS EN/EN55032 (CISPR32), FCC Part 15 / CISPR22, CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B), CNS15936, GB17625.1, EAC TP TC 020 and MSIP KN32.

Is the GST18A a Class I or a Class II power supply?

GST18A is a Class I power supply. It connects through a 3-pole IEC320-C14 inlet and bonds the protective earth to the chassis, which is why more than two conductors are present on the mains side. It has passed the LPS (limited power source) test and uses a 94V-0 flame-retardant fully enclosed plastic housing.

Is the GST18A really 18W on every output voltage?

No. The 5V (3.0A) model and the 7.5V (2.0A) model are rated 15W maximum output power. The 9V, 12V, 15V, 18V, 24V, 28V and 48V models are rated 18W maximum. All nine share the same 93 x 54 x 36mm housing and the same 85~264VAC input range.

Can I change the DC output plug of a GST18A adapter?

The standard plug is P1J, a 5.5 x 2.1 x 11mm tuning fork type with center positive polarity. MEAN WELL can fit other plug styles such as tuning fork, barrel, lock, min. pin, center pin and DIN connectors at the factory subject to a minimum order quantity. For small quantities, quick-change DC plug adapters are available separately and require no MOQ.

Is the DC output connected to AC ground?

In the standard version the negative output (-V) is not connected to AC FG. An optional version bonds -V to AC FG for installations that need the output referenced to earth. Both are available from the factory - tell us which grounding scheme your end device uses when ordering.

Can I use the GST18A for a medical device?

No. GST18A is an ITE product certified to the 62368-1 safety standard with a maximum leakage current of 0.75mA at 240VAC. For equipment with patient contact, use a 60601-1 certified adapter from the MEAN WELL GSM medical series instead, which provides 2xMOPP isolation and touch current below 50uA. The adapter is in any case a component intended to be built into end equipment, so EMC and safety of the complete system must be confirmed with the finished device.
