It is commonly used with CCTV cameras, 3D printer heaters, and LED drivers. For microcontrollers like Arduino or ESP32 that operate at 5V or 3.3V, use a buck converter to step down the voltage safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnect the live and neutral wires from the AC mains to the input terminals marked L and N. The output barrel jack is center-positive: tip is +12V, sleeve is ground. For currents above 2A, use 18 AWG or thicker wire to avoid voltage drop. Do not exceed the rated current to prevent overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this compatible with Arduino?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eArduino boards typically require 5V via USB or Vin. You can use this 12V PSU with the Arduino’s Vin pin if your board supports 7–12V input, but check the specification of your exact model. For 5V Arduino models like Uno, use a 5V regulator module.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this to power a Raspberry Pi?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaspberry Pi needs 5V micro-USB or USB-C. You would need a 12V-to-5V DC-DC converter to safely power a Pi from this 12V supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat happens if I exceed 5A current draw?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe power supply may overheat and shut down if protection circuits are present. Prolonged overloading can damage the unit. Always ensure your load stays within the 5A rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"compoden-handoff\" style=\"margin-top:24px;padding:16px;background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #2B4D8F;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#1A3560;\"\u003e📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;color:#333;\"\u003eEvery Compoden order includes a free setup handoff document — step-by-step instructions to get your component working within minutes.
