Overview

GSM18U12-P1J is the 12V output model of this series: rated current 1.5A, typical efficiency 86%.

GSM18U is a highly reliable, 18W wall-mounted style single-output green medical adaptor series. This product is equipped with a 2-pin (no FG) standard USA AC power plug, adopting the input range from 80VAC to 264VAC. The entire series supplies different output voltages between 5VDC and 48VDC that can satisfy the demands for various kinds of miniaturize medical devices. The circuitry design meets the international medical standards (2 × MOPP), having an ultra low leakage current (<50 μA), fitting the medical devices in direct electrical contact with the patients. With the efficiency up to 88% and the extreme low no-load power consumption below 0.1W, GSM18U is compliant with USA EISA 2007/DoE and Canada NRCan; the supreme feature allows the adaptor to save the energy when it is either under the operating mode or the standby mode. The entire series utilizes the 94V-0 flame retardant plastic case, providing the double insulation that effectively prevents electrical shock. GSM18U is approved with the international medical safety certificates.

Test conditions and notes8

1. All parameters are specified at 115VAC input, rated load, 25℃ 70% RH ambient.
2. DC voltage: The output voltage set at point measure by plug terminal & 50% load.
3. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz by using a 12" twisted pair terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF capacitor.
4. Tolerance: includes set up tolerance, line regulation, load regulation.
5. Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load.
6. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
7. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the derating curve for more details.
8. The power supply is considered as an independent unit, but the final equipment still need to re-confirm that the whole system complies with the 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 )

FAQ

Can I use the GSM18U12-P1J for a 12V PLC accessory or small automation controller?

Yes, if the equipment requires constant voltage 12V DC and the load stays within 1.5A and 18W. That makes it suitable for low-power automation accessories and compact control electronics built around a 12V input.

Is this 12V power supply a good fit for a compact network or IT device that runs on 12V DC?

It can be a fit for small IT or communications hardware that specifically uses 12V constant voltage input. The output is limited to 1.5A and 18W, so the device's nameplate requirement needs to stay within those values.

Can the GSM18U12-P1J power a 12V embedded display or control terminal?

Yes, for low-power embedded displays, operator panels, or terminals that are designed for 12V DC input. This unit delivers constant voltage at 12V with up to 1.5A available.

Can I use the GSM18U12-P1J in an unconditioned indoor area or outdoors?

Its specified operating range is -25°C to +60°C, so the temperature spec covers many indoor industrial environments. No IP rating is shown in the listed specifications, so the product data here does not establish outdoor or exposed-weather use.
