Description
The Hi-Link HLK-5M12 12V/5W Switch Power Supply Module is a compact, high-efficiency plastic-enclosed PCB-mounted isolated switching power supply designed to convert standard AC mains input (90–264V AC / 100–240V AC) into a stable, regulated 12V DC output at 5W total power. Developed by Hi-Link, this ultra-small power module modernizes traditional power supply designs by replacing bulky transformers, diodes, and linear regulators with an advanced solid-state switching architecture.
Engineered to withstand grid fluctuations while offering exceptional reliability, low ripple, and minimal no-load power consumption (<0.1W), the HLK-5M12 meets stringent international UL, CE, and EMC standards. Featuring comprehensive output overload and short-circuit protections alongside natural convection cooling, it is an ideal drop-in power solution for industrial automation hardware, smart home sensors, auxiliary relay boards, and low-voltage electronics.
