Power specification
This 12V 15A AC adapter delivers up to 180W for DC devices that require a 5.5mm x 2.5mm barrel plug. It accepts 100V-240V input at 50/60Hz and provides a stable 12V output with built-in overload, over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature and short-circuit protection. The connector polarity is centre-positive and the tip also fits 5.5mm x 2.1mm sockets. It suits LED strips, printers, CCTV cameras, routers, hubs and similar 12V equipment under 180W.
Installation notes
The unit is an indoor-only AC-to-DC converter with a fixed mains lead and a barrel output cable; simply plug it into a wall socket and connect the barrel to the device. Ensure the device draws no more than 15A, as exceeding this limit will damage the adapter. The constant-voltage design minimises fluctuation during power-on and power-off transitions. No driver or software configuration is required.
Pre-purchase checks
Verify that the target device operates on 12V DC and its maximum current draw is 15A or less, corresponding to 180W or less. Confirm the device uses a 5.5mm x 2.5mm or 5.5mm x 2.1mm centre-positive barrel jack. Check that the installation location is indoors and that the mains supply is within 100V-240V at 50/60Hz. This adapter cannot power devices requiring higher voltage, higher current or a different connector type.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the BASEUS 12V 15A 180W AC Adapter is delivering stable power after connecting it?
The unit maintains a constant 12V output with almost no voltage fluctuation during power on, transmitting, receiving or power off, and its built-in safeguards include overload, over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature and short-circuit protection that activate automatically if limits are exceeded.
What connectors and accessories are included with the BASEUS 12V 15A 180W AC Adapter, and what must I source separately?
The adapter comes with a fixed 5.5 mm x 2.5 mm DC barrel plug that is also compatible with 5.5 mm x 2.1 mm jacks; polarity is centre-positive, barrel-negative. No extra cables or mounting hardware are supplied, so any extension leads or panel-mount sockets must be purchased separately.
Which output rating should I choose for a 12V LED strip that draws 144W?
Select the 15A 180W model — it provides up to 15A and 180W maximum, covering your 144W load with headroom; do not exceed 15A or the supply will be damaged.
