Test conditions and notes6
- 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. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- 5. 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 )
- 6. 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
Can I use the EPS-120-12 for a 12V embedded controller or IPC build?
Yes, if the system is designed for a 12V constant voltage input. This supply provides 12V output with 7A and 84W under convection cooling, or 10A and 120W with a 10CFM fan, which fits embedded or industrial electronics that stay within those limits.
Is the EPS-120-12 suitable for small 12V automation panels?
It can work well in compact automation or control equipment that needs 12V DC rather than 24V DC. The available output is 12V at 7A and 84W with convection cooling, or 10A and 120W with a 10CFM fan, in a 101.6 x 50.8 x 29 mm package.
Can this power supply run multiple 12V industrial accessories from one source?
It can, as long as the combined 12V load remains within 7A and 84W with convection cooling, or 10A and 120W with a 10CFM fan. For low-voltage industrial accessories, embedded peripherals, or control electronics that share a 12V bus, those are the operating limits that matter.
Can the EPS-120-12 be used in outdoor equipment?
The listed operating temperature range is -30°C to +70°C with derating per the derating curve, but no IP rating is provided in the product specs. That means the temperature range is defined, while outdoor dust or water resistance is not confirmed by the stated specifications.
What is the difference between the EPS-120 voltage options?
With convection cooling, the EPS-120 series includes 12V at 84W and 7A, 15V at 84W and 5.6A, 24V at 84W and 3.5A, 27V at 85W and 3.15A, and 48V at 84W and 1.75A; a 10CFM fan raises them to 120W (121.5W for 27V). The main selection point is the required output voltage, with current changing accordingly across the same overall size class.
