Information about the MEAN WELL GST360A12-C8P
The MEAN WELL GST360A12-C8P is a highly reliable 360W industrial desktop power supply delivering a 12V DC output at up to 27.5A rated current. As a Class I power unit equipped with a standard 3-pole IEC320-C14 AC inlet, it supports a wide universal AC input range from 85 to 264 VAC with integrated active Power Factor Correction (PFC).
Engineered for high energy efficiency up to 91% and featuring an ultra-low no-load power consumption below 0.5W, the GST360A series complies with international energy-saving regulations under Energy Efficiency Level VI. Its fanless enclosure design enables silent operation across a broad operating temperature range of -30°C to +70°C inside a 94V-0 flame-retardant plastic housing.
For safe system operation, the GST360A12-C8P features comprehensive protective circuits against short circuit, overload (auto-recovering hiccup mode), overvoltage, and overtemperature conditions. The "C8P" model suffix designates a heavy-duty 8-pin C8P output connector (MOLEX 39-01-2080 equivalent), making this adapter ideal for commercial electronics, security systems, telecommunications, 3D printers, vision mixers, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) equipment.
