Dell ALT-1206 12V 6A 72W Adapter
The Dell ALT-1206 is a 72W AC-to-DC power adapter that delivers 12V at up to 6A. It accepts a universal 100-240V input at 50/60Hz and terminates in a 5.5mm barrel connector compatible with 2.1mm and 2.5mm centre pins. Polarity is centre-positive. Built-in protections include overload, over-voltage, over-temperature and short-circuit cut-off. The unit weighs 300 grams and carries FCC, CE, RoHS and CCC compliance. It ships with a detachable mains cord and a screw-terminal female DC plug for solderless wiring.
Ideal for 12V loads under 72W
This adapter suits 12V equipment drawing less than 6A such as LED strip lights, CCTV cameras, security recorders, Bluetooth speakers and DC water pumps. The wide input range allows use on mains supplies worldwide. The screw-terminal output connector lets installers attach bare wires without soldering. Buyers who need a waterproof enclosure, an output voltage other than 12V, or a current rating above 6A should look at a different supply. Outdoor installations are not supported because the housing is not weather-sealed.
Bundled accessories simplify installation
The package includes the adapter, a standard IEC mains cord and a female barrel plug with screw terminals. The screw-terminal plug enables quick, tool-only connections to bare wires on LED strips, pumps or camera pigtails, removing the need for a soldering iron. The mains cord provides immediate connection to a wall outlet. No software, drivers or mounting hardware are supplied.

Questions about this item
What mains voltage and plug type does the ALT-1206 need?
The adapter accepts 100-240 V AC at 50/60 Hz and ships with a standard three-pin North American power cord.
My device uses a 5.5 mm × 2.1 mm barrel jack — will this adapter fit?
Yes, the DC plug is 5.5 mm outer diameter with a 2.1-2.5 mm inner range, centre-positive, so it mates with 2.1 mm and 2.5 mm jacks.
How can I confirm the unit is delivering a stable 12 V after I connect it?
Measure the output with a multimeter; you should read 12 V DC with the load attached, and the built-in overload, over-voltage, over-temperature and short-circuit protections will engage if limits are exceeded.
