Information about the MEAN WELL GST360B12-C8P
The MEAN WELL GST360B12-C8P is a highly reliable 360W industrial desktop power supply delivering a 12V DC output at up to 27.5A rated current[cite: 6]. As a Class II power unit (without FG ground connection) equipped with a standard 2-pole IEC320-C18 AC inlet, it supports a wide universal AC input range from 85 to 264 VAC with integrated active Power Factor Correction (PFC)[cite: 6].
Engineered for high energy efficiency up to 91% and featuring an ultra-low no-load power consumption below 0.5W, the GST360B series complies with international energy-saving regulations under Energy Efficiency Level VI[cite: 6]. 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[cite: 6].
For safe system operation, the GST360B12-C8P features comprehensive protective circuits against short circuit, overload (auto-recovering hiccup mode), overvoltage, and overtemperature conditions[cite: 6]. 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[cite: 6].
