Description
The ADEL System FLEX28012A is a compact, high-performance 12V DIN rail power supply for industrial automation, machinery and control-panel applications. Manufactured in Italy, it provides up to 16A continuously at 12VDC from a narrow 72mm-wide enclosure.
The FLEX28012A uses a manually selectable 115 or 230VAC single-phase input and provides a regulated 12VDC output adjustable from 10 to 14VDC. Its flexible-power design maintains continuous output across a wide industrial temperature range and provides a temporary power boost for loads with elevated start-up current.
High efficiency, strong overload handling, three selectable protection modes and Easy Parallel operation make the FLEX28012A suitable for PLC systems, motors, actuators, industrial computers and other equipment requiring a robust high-current 12V supply.
ADEL System FLEX28012A 12V 16A DIN Rail Power Supply
A compact industrial power supply with an adjustable 12V output, strong overload capability and selectable output-protection modes.
The FLEX28012A 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 well suited to 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 High-Current Output
The FLEX28012A supplies 16A continuously at 12VDC up to 40°C, 15A up to 50°C and 14A up to 60°C. The output voltage can be adjusted between 10 and 14VDC to suit different system and load requirements.
Temporary Power Boost
The power-boost function can provide 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 demands.
Three Output-Protection Modes
The FLEX28012A provides three selectable responses to overload and short-circuit conditions: hiccup mode, continuous-output mode and manual reset. This allows the protection behaviour to be matched to the connected equipment.
High Capacitive-Load Capability
The supply can start capacitive loads up to 50,000µF, making it suitable for electronic equipment with large input capacitors and demanding start-up characteristics.
Easy Parallel Operation
Compatible FLEX units can be connected in parallel where additional output capacity or system redundancy is required.
Manufactured in Italy
The FLEX28012A is manufactured in Italy by ADEL System for professional industrial control and machinery applications.
