36W UK Plug 12V 3A AC-DC Power Adapter Supply

Product Description

The 36W UK Plug 12V 3A AC DC Power Adapter Supply is a premium power solution designed for the UK and Ireland markets, featuring a BS 1363-compliant three-pin plug with a built-in 3A fuse for enhanced safety. Delivering 36 watts (12V DC, 3A), it provides a stable power source for a diverse range of devices, combining regional compatibility with global performance.

The adapter’s robust design (80 x 50 x 40mm) ensures durability, with a casing made from V-0 flame-retardant material that meets UK safety standards. The UK plug’s grounded design and fused connection protect against overloads, while the 1.5-meter cable with a molded strain relief withstands daily bending and pulling. Internally, a sophisticated voltage regulator maintains a precise 12V output, minimizing ripple and noise to safeguard sensitive electronics.

Features

UK-Specific Safety Compliance: The BS 1363 plug includes a replaceable 3A fuse, offering an extra layer of protection against over current. The adapter also meets CE, UKCA, and RoHS certifications, ensuring compliance with European and UK safety regulations.

Global Voltage Adaptability: Despite its UK plug, the adapter supports 100–240V AC input, making it usable in countries with 220–240V systems (e.g., Europe, Australia) when paired with a local plug adapter (not for voltage conversion—input voltage must match).

Efficient Power Delivery: Utilizes advanced MOSFET technology for up to 87% energy efficiency, reducing heat and energy waste. The adapter remains cool to the touch during normal use, with a maximum surface temperature of 55°C under full load.

Versatile Device Compatibility: Works with any 12V DC device drawing up to 3A, including CCTV cameras, set-top boxes, portable monitors, and low-power gaming consoles. The standard 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC connector ensures compatibility with most 12V devices, though rare connectors may require an adapter.

Application

Residential Use: Powers UK household devices like Sky Q boxes, BT hubs, and smart home devices (e.g., Hive thermostats, Ring doorbells), ensuring reliable operation. Ideal for maintaining continuous power to security systems during voltage fluctuations.

Commercial & Retail: Suitable for small businesses in the UK, powering POS terminals, digital menu boards, and surveillance cameras in shops or restaurants. The fused plug adds an extra safety layer for shared commercial spaces.

International Travel in 230V Regions: While designed for the UK, the universal input allows use in countries with 230V systems (e.g., Germany, France) using a Type G to local plug adapter, making it a practical choice for UK travelers.

Faq

Q: How do I replace the fuse in the UK plug?

A: Unscrew the plug cover, remove the old fuse, and insert a new 3A BS 1362-compliant fuse. Ensure the adapter is unplugged before replacing the fuse.

Q: Can I use this adapter in the US with a plug adapter?

A: Yes, but only if the US outlet provides 120V AC (within the adapter’s 100–240V input range). A Type G to Type A plug adapter is required, but no voltage converter is needed since the adapter handles 120V input natively.

Q: What is the difference between this adapter and the US plug version?

A: This adapter features a UK three-pin plug with a built-in fuse, complies with UKCA safety standards, and is optimized for 230V input prevalent in the UK. The US version has a two-pin NEMA plug and is certified for North American safety standards.

Q: Is the adapter suitable for outdoor use in the UK?

A: No, it is designed for indoor use only. Expose it to dry, well-ventilated environments to prevent moisture damage or overheating.
