Description
The ADEL System FLEX17012A is a compact, high-performance 12V DIN rail power supply for industrial automation, machinery and control-panel applications. Manufactured in Italy, it delivers up to 14A with flexible output power from 120W to 180W in a space-saving 55mm-wide enclosure.
The FLEX17012A uses a manually selectable 115 or 230VAC single-phase input and provides a regulated 12VDC output adjustable from 12 to 15VDC. Its flexible-power design supplies up to 14A at lower ambient temperatures while maintaining continuous operation across a wide industrial temperature range.
High efficiency, a Power Good relay, strong overload capability, three selectable protection modes and parallel-operation support make the FLEX17012A suitable for PLC systems, motors, actuators, industrial computers and other equipment requiring a dependable high-current 12V supply.
ADEL System FLEX17012A 12V 14A DIN Rail Power Supply
A compact industrial power supply delivering flexible output power from 120W to 180W, with strong overload capability and selectable protection modes.
The FLEX17012A converts a single-phase AC input into a stable 12VDC supply for professional industrial equipment. Its high power density, compact dimensions and natural-convection cooling make it particularly suitable for control cabinets where available DIN rail space is limited.
Typical Applications
This high-current 12V DIN rail power supply is suitable for applications including:
- Industrial automation and machinery
- PLC, HMI and remote I/O systems
- Motors, actuators, solenoids and contactors
- Industrial computers and communications equipment
- Security, access-control and monitoring systems
- Control panels requiring a compact high-current 12VDC supply
Flexible 120W to 180W Output
The FLEX17012A delivers 14A at 12VDC below 40°C, 12A below 50°C and 10A below 60°C. Its output voltage can be adjusted from 12 to 15VDC, providing flexible power delivery from 120W to 180W according to the selected voltage, load and ambient temperature.
150% Power Boost
The power-boost function provides up to 150% of the 60°C rated current for at least three minutes. This helps the supply support motors, capacitive equipment and other loads with elevated start-up or temporary current requirements.
Three Output-Protection Modes
The FLEX17012A provides three selectable responses to overload and short-circuit conditions: manual reset, hiccup mode and continuous-output mode. This allows the protection behaviour to be matched to the characteristics of the connected equipment.
Power Good Monitoring
A volt-free Power Good relay contact provides an output-status signal for PLCs, alarms and supervisory systems, helping users detect output-voltage problems or loss of DC power.
High Capacitive-Load Capability
The supply can start capacitive loads up to 50,000µF, making it suitable for industrial electronic equipment with large input capacitors and demanding start-up characteristics.
Parallel Operation
Compatible power supplies can be connected in parallel where additional output capacity or system redundancy is required.
Manufactured in Italy
The FLEX17012A is manufactured in Italy by ADEL System for professional industrial control and machinery applications.
