The MEAN WELL GST18B 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 2-pole IEC320-C8 inlet and is a Class II power supply with double insulation, so no protective earth is needed and the adapter can be used where only a two-wire mains supply is available. 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.
Double insulation keeps the leakage current down to 0.25mA at 240VAC, and the 94V-0 flame-retardant fully sealed housing leaves no live part exposed in normal operation. Withstand voltage is 4242VDC input-to-output with insulation resistance of 100M Ohms minimum at 500VDC. The series has also passed the LPS (limited power source) test. Note that this is an ITE product certified to the 62368-1 family: 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). 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.

GST18B 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.
GST18B is a Class II power supply. It uses double insulation and a 2-pole IEC320-C8 mains inlet, so there is no protective earth conductor and no earth connection is required at the installation. Leakage current is 0.25mA maximum at 240VAC. If your product does require a 3-pole earthed mains input, the GST18A series with a 3-pole IEC320-C14 inlet is the equivalent Class I version.
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 79 x 54 x 33mm housing and the same 85~264VAC input range.
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.
They share the same 18W platform, the same nine output voltages and the same P1J standard plug, but the mains interface is different. GST18B is Class II with a 2-pole IEC320-C8 inlet and no earth, rated 0.25mA maximum leakage, in a 79 x 54 x 33mm housing. GST18A is Class I with a 3-pole IEC320-C14 inlet and protective earth, rated 0.75mA maximum leakage, in a 93 x 54 x 36mm housing with an additional input-to-earth withstand voltage rating.
No. GST18B is an ITE product certified to the 62368-1 safety standard. 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.
