Dell 1250 12 V 5 A power adapter
The Dell 1250 is a 60 W AC-DC power supply that delivers 12 V at up to 5 A through a 5.5×2.1 mm centre-positive barrel connector. It is intended for users who need a replacement or spare adapter for monitors, routers, projectors, CCTV cameras, speakers or webcams that specify a 12 V input not exceeding 5 A.
Build integration and cable reach
The unit accepts a worldwide 100-240 V AC input at 50/60 Hz, so it works on mains supplies in most regions without a separate voltage selector. A 6 ft (180 cm) DC cord provides enough length for typical desk or wall-mounted installations, and the male barrel plug mates directly with the device’s power jack. The adapter is rated for indoor use in ambient temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C and should be kept dry.
Replacing lost or failed 12 V 5 A bricks
This adapter replaces an original 12 V supply rated up to 5 A, covering lower current draws such as 2 A, 2.5 A, 3 A, 3.5 A and 4 A automatically. The jump is worth it when the original brick is lost, damaged or shows signs of overheating, and the device’s label confirms a 12 V centre-positive barrel input within the 5 A limit. It is not suitable for phones, tablets, laptops or other precision electronics that require regulated USB-C or proprietary power profiles.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum continuous output current before the over-current protection trips?
The adapter delivers up to 5 A continuously; the built-in overload safeguard activates if the connected device draws more than 5 A.
How warm does the brick get when powering a monitor all day?
It is rated for 0–40 °C ambient operation and the flame-retardant shell dissipates heat without a fan, so surface temperature stays within safe limits during continuous use.
Which connector must my device already have to use this adapter?
Your device needs a 5.5 × 2.1 mm female barrel jack with centre-positive polarity.
