Test conditions and notes5
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf )
- 5. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).

FAQ
What types of systems is the ADS-5512 designed to support?
The Mean Well ADS-5512 is designed for smaller 12V DC systems that need a main 12V output and an auxiliary 5V output. With 51W of rated power and 3A rated on the main 12V output (plus 3A on the 5V output), it is a practical fit for lighter-duty security and control applications.
Can the ADS-5512 help in compact systems that need both 12V and 5V outputs?
Yes. The ADS-5512 is useful for smaller mixed-voltage systems where the main load needs 12V DC and supporting electronics can benefit from a separate 5V output. Its 51W rating makes it appropriate for compact or lighter-duty applications.
Can the ADS-5512 run from standard AC mains inputs?
Yes. The listed AC input range is 88-264VAC, so the ADS-5512 can operate from common 120V and 240V mains systems within that range. That flexibility makes it easier to use across different installation sites.
Is the ADS-5512 suitable for direct outdoor use?
The current product data does not show an IP rating for waterproof installation, so the ADS-5512 should be treated as an indoor or protected-enclosure power supply rather than a unit for direct outdoor exposure. Its listed working temperature is -10°C to +60°C with output derating per the derating curve (shown with 18.2CFM forced air and with no fan), and proper enclosure protection is still required.
How does the ADS-5512 compare with other ADS models?
The ADS-5512 is the 12V model of the ADS-55 series, providing 51W total: 12V at 3A plus 5V at 3A. The ADS-5524 on the same sheet provides 24V at 2A plus 5V at 2A for 58W. Selection depends on the main voltage your system needs and how much output margin your load requires.
