The 12V 40A 480W transformer is an AC to DC power supply designed to provide a stable and safe electrical supply to devices that require 12 volts and up to 40 amps of current, with a maximum power of 480W.

This power supply is ideal for a wide range of electronic applications, including LED strips, wireless routers, ADSL equipment, security cameras, audio and video systems, among others. Its robust design with a metal case ensures better heat dissipation, extending the transformer’s service life compared with models with a plastic case.

Key features

  • Model: S-480-12
  • Power input: 100-120V AC or 200-220V AC
  • Output voltage: 12V DC adjustable between 10V and 13,2V via potentiometer
  • Maximum output current: 40A
  • Maximum power: 480W (continuous use at maximum not recommended)
  • Number of outputs: 3
  • Output connector: Type Screw Terminal Block
  • Protection: against short circuits, overloads and overvoltage
  • Case material: metal for better thermal dissipation
  • Dimensions: 50mm x 215mm x 110mm (height x length x width)
  • Weight: 930 grams
  • Operating temperature range: -20°C to 60°C

Recommended use

This transformer is perfect for powering devices that require a stable 12V voltage and consume less than 480W. It is especially useful for LED strips, where it is recommended that the power supply output is higher than the total consumption of the strips. To calculate the power needed, multiply the number of metres of LED strip by 12W (consumption per metre). For example, 4 metres x 12W = 48W, so the power supply should be above 48W.

In addition, its adjustable voltage regulation allows it to be adapted to different specific needs, ensuring an optimal supply for each device.

Compatibility

Compatible with a wide range of electronic equipment that operates at 12V DC, including LED lighting systems, security cameras, routers, audio and video equipment, and other consumer electronic devices.

Advantages

  • Metal case that improves heat dissipation and extends service life.
  • Built-in protection against short circuits, overloads and overvoltage.
  • Adjustable output voltage for greater flexibility.
  • Secure, easy-to-install connectors.

This transformer is a reliable and efficient solution for your power supply needs in electronic projects and LED lighting systems.

  • Maximum 480W output power with 40A current at 12V DC

Customer Questions & Answers

What are the dimensions, weight and materials of the transformer, and what is included in the box?

The transformer measures 50 mm (height) x 215 mm (length) x 110 mm (width) and weighs 930 g. The casing is made of metal to improve heat dissipation. The box includes only the power supply; no input cables or additional accessories are supplied.

How is the electrical installation carried out and what type of connections does it need?

The electrical installation is carried out by connecting the AC power cable (100-120V or 200-220V) to the designated screw terminals, and the devices to be powered to the 12V DC output terminals. It uses screw terminal blocks, suitable for solid or stranded wire, and it is recommended to check polarity and use cables suitable for the current (minimum 2.5 mm² for loads above 20A).

What protection systems are integrated and under what conditions can they activate?

It includes protection against short circuit, overload and overvoltage. If a short circuit occurs or the load exceeds the permitted range, the power supply automatically cuts off or limits the output; these protections reset once the cause is removed (disconnect the load/overvoltage) without manual intervention.

How does it differ from similar power supplies with a plastic casing, in terms of durability and cooling?

The metal casing provides better heat dissipation, which improves longevity and stability compared with power supplies with a plastic casing; the latter retain more heat and can degrade internal components more quickly, especially under high continuous load or in hot environments.

What devices is this transformer suitable for?

It is suitable for electronic equipment that requires 12V DC power with consumption below 480W, such as LED strips, security cameras, routers, audio and video equipment.

Can the output voltage be adjusted?

Yes, it includes a potentiometer that allows the output voltage to be adjusted between 10V and 13,2V to suit different needs.

What kind of protection does this transformer offer?

It has protection against short circuits, overloads and overvoltage to ensure safe operation.

How do I calculate the power needed for LED strips?

Multiply the number of metres of LED strip by 12W (consumption per metre). The power supply should have a higher power rating than the result for optimal operation.

What is the advantage of the metal case?

The metal case improves heat dissipation, which extends the transformer’s service life compared with a plastic case.
