Altronix SMP10C12X220 12VDC 10A Cabinet Power Supply with 220VAC Input
Overview
The Altronix SMP10C12X220 is a 12VDC, 10-amp regulated power supply engineered for international deployments and global security integrations where the local grid delivers 220VAC rather than the North American 120VAC standard. Housed in a lockable steel cabinet, the SMP10C12X220 combines mains-fed DC regulation with integrated battery backup support — giving you a single enclosure that handles both primary power conversion and UPS functionality for connected surveillance or access control devices.
If you're deploying Altronix power products in EMEA facilities, Latin American warehouses, or any site running 198–256VAC mains, this unit is the purpose-built answer. It's also the right pick for North American sites with 208VAC or 240VAC panel feeds that need a compliant, cabinet-format power plant rather than an ad hoc wall-pack arrangement.
Key Features
- 220VAC Input (198–256VAC tolerance): The wide input window absorbs real-world grid fluctuations that are common on international mains — a site running 210VAC or spiking to 248VAC won't trip or damage the unit. No stepdown transformer required, which saves cost and reduces a potential failure point.
- 12VDC / 10A Regulated Output: Ten full amps at 12 volts gives you enough headroom to power multiple IP cameras, door controllers, or alarm panels from a single supply. Running a mixed load of 4–6 cameras averaging 1–2A each? This unit handles that without margin concerns.
- Dual Fused Outputs (3.5A) and PTC Protection (2.5A): Output circuits split into 3.5A fused runs and 2.5A PTC-protected runs. Fused outputs give you hard-limit protection on higher-draw loads; PTC outputs self-reset after a fault clears — useful on devices that may momentarily spike but don't need a manual fuse replacement every time. This output architecture lets you segment power by device priority or load type within the same cabinet.
- Battery Backup Support — 7AH or 12AH at 12VDC: The cabinet is sized and wired to accept either a 7AH or 12AH sealed lead-acid battery. A 12AH battery at a 2A load gives you roughly 6 hours of runtime after a mains failure — enough to cover most power-outage scenarios in commercial security deployments without a generator. Size your battery to your load and your required standby window.
- 50/60Hz Dual-Frequency Input: Accepts both 50Hz (standard in most of the world outside North America) and 60Hz feeds, so the same unit ships to a UK warehouse or a US facility running 240VAC without any hardware changes.
- Operating Range 0°C to 49°C: Covers standard indoor mechanical room and IDF closet conditions. Not rated for unheated outdoor enclosures in cold climates — factor that into your enclosure selection if the cabinet will be in an unconditioned space during winter.
- Cabinet Form Factor — 13.5
