Test conditions and notes9
- 1. All parameters are specified at 230VAC 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 ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
- 9. 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 )

What type of input power does this power supply accept?
This model accepts a universal AC input range of 85 to 264VAC, and it also supports 120 to 370VDC input. That wide input range makes it suitable for use across different regions and power environments where compatible mains power is available.
What connector type is used on the GST160A12-R7B output?
The standard DC plug on this version is the R7B, a 4-pin locking DIN-type connector (KYCON KPPX-4P equivalent). Buyers should confirm that their equipment is designed for this exact plug format before ordering, since connector style is model-specific.
Is the GST160A12-R7B suitable for demanding industrial or commercial environments?
This model includes overload, over voltage, and over temperature protection, which helps support reliable operation in professional applications. It also operates across a wide temperature range of -30°C to +70°C, with load derating at higher temperatures per the derating curve.
How energy efficient is this Mean Well power supply?
The GST160A12-R7B has a typical efficiency of 90% at 230VAC input and rated load. Its typical power factor is above 0.93 at 230VAC and above 0.98 at 115VAC at full load, which is useful for buyers with energy-efficiency purchasing criteria.
What physical format does the GST160A12-R7B use?
This is a desktop-style external power supply measuring 175 x 72 x 35 mm and weighing 0.66 kg. It uses a 3-pole IEC320-C14 AC inlet and includes a 100 cm output cable (UL2464 16AWG x 4C).
