DC 12V Access Control Power Supply Switch – 5A Output, AC 110V–240V Input
Power your access control system with confidence using this professional-grade DC 12V / 5A switching power supply. Designed specifically for electric locks, video intercoms, face recognition terminals, fingerprint readers, and card-access devices, this unit delivers stable, reliable DC power in a compact enclosure. Made in Mainland China.
Why Choose This Power Supply?
- Wide AC Input Range: Accepts AC 110V–240V, 50/60 Hz — compatible with power grids worldwide.
- Robust 5A Peak Output: 5A momentary current (3.5A persistent) and 60W output power handle even demanding electric lock loads.
- Built-In Time-Delay Circuit: Adjustable unlock delay from 0 to 15 seconds for flexible door control configurations.
- Supports NO & NC Locks: Compatible with both Normally Open (Fail-Secure) and Normally Closed (Fail-Safe) electric locks.
- Built-In Battery Interface: Supports an optional lithium battery backup to keep your access system running during power outages.
- Short-Circuit & Overheat Protection: Automatically disconnects voltage output if the external circuit short-circuits or overheats; resumes normal operation after 3-minute cooldown, protecting all connected devices.
- Versatile Control Input: Accepts DC 5V or DC 12V signals via CONTROL terminals for seamless integration with standalone controllers and automation systems.
- Exit Button (PUSH) Terminal: Dedicated PUSH + GND terminal for door release button wiring.
Terminal Reference Guide
- NO + GND: Fail-Secure lock terminal — DC 12V output after trigger (0–15s adjustable).
- NC + GND: Fail-Safe lock terminal — DC 12V output after trigger (0–15s adjustable).
- PUSH + GND: Exit button switch input — controls lock/unlock. Do not connect an active electrical signal to PUSH/GND.
- +12V + GND: Supplies DC 12V to connected devices (intercoms, readers, cameras, etc.).
- CONTROL+ / CONTROL−: Accepts DC 5V or DC 12V signal for electric lock open/close control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What types of electric locks are compatible with this DC 12V access control power supply?
A: This power supply is compatible with both Normally Open (NO / Fail-Secure) and Normally Closed (NC / Fail-Safe) electric locks. It is also suitable for magnetic locks, electric strikes, bolt locks, and other 12V DC-powered locking devices used in access control and video intercom systems.
Q: Can I use this power supply during a power outage?
A: Yes. This unit features a built-in battery interface that supports an optional lithium battery backup. When a compatible battery is installed, the system can continue to operate your access control devices during a mains power interruption, maintaining door security without interruption.
Q: What happens if there is a short circuit or overheating event?
A: The power supply has a built-in protective circuit that automatically disconnects the voltage output if a short circuit or overheating is detected on the external circuit. After approximately 3 minutes of troubleshooting (once the fault is cleared), you can power the unit back on and it will resume normal operation, protecting all connected devices from damage.
Q: Is this power supply compatible with international voltages?
A: Yes. The unit accepts a wide AC input range of 110V–240V at 50/60 Hz, making it suitable for use in North America, Europe, Asia, and most other regions worldwide without the need for an additional voltage converter.
