Output specifications

Parameter Specification
Full model GSV30I12-P1J
Model code GSV30 identifies the power-supply series; I identifies the AC plug configuration, 12 the rated output voltage, and P1J the supplied center-positive DC connector.
Output design Constant-voltage output with active power factor correction (PFC).
Rated output voltage 12 VDC
Rated output current 2.5 A
Rated output power 30 W.
Open-circuit voltage <15 V; this is a no-load limit, not the rated operating voltage.
Maximum ripple and noise 2.5 Vp-p
Voltage tolerance ±1.5 V. Includes setup tolerance, line regulation and load regulation from 1% to 100% load at 230 VAC.
Line regulation ±2.0%
No-load consumption 0.5 W maximum in the specification table; the series feature page states <0.5 W.

Input and electrical performance

Parameter Specification
Input voltage 180–264 VAC or 255–373 VDC. Use the correct input connection and the applicable installation instructions.
Input frequency 47–63 Hz
Power factor >0.92 at 230 VAC and full load (typical specification).
Total harmonic distortion <20% at 230 VAC and full load; lower-load performance depends on the load curve.
Efficiency 83% minimum at 230 VAC, as printed in the model column of the catalog efficiency row.
Typical AC input current 0.3 A at 230 VAC
Setup time 500 ms at 230 VAC and full load.
Maximum inrush current Cold start: 20 A at 230 VAC, with 200 μs width measured at 50% of peak current.
Leakage current <0.25 mA maximum at 230 VAC
Measurement conditions Unless otherwise stated: 230 VAC input, rated load, and 25°C ambient. Ripple and noise use 20 MHz bandwidth and a 12-inch twisted pair, with the catalog-specified 104PF/50V ceramic and 47 μF/50V capacitor termination.

Protection functions

Parameter Specification
Overload protection 105–200% of rated output power; hiccup mode, with automatic recovery after the fault condition is removed.
Overvoltage protection 15.6–18 V; zener-diode clamping with output shorting, as described in the catalog.
Short-circuit protection Hiccup mode; automatic recovery after the fault condition is removed.

Environment and derating

Parameter Specification
Working ambient temperature −20 to +50°C, subject to derating.
Ambient derating curve Horizontal mounting: 100% load from −20 to +40°C, reducing to 70% at +50°C. Apply ambient, input and case-temperature limits together.
Case-temperature curve The catalog output-load curve ends at Tcase 75°C. Check the actual product label for its maximum Tc and keep the marked case measurement point within that limit.
Cooling and mounting Free-air convection. Nonstandard orientation or high ambient temperature can raise internal temperature and require output-current derating.
Input-voltage/load curve 100% load across 180–264 VAC at 50/60 Hz, within the applicable thermal limits.
Humidity and storage Working: 20–95% RH, non-condensing. Storage: −30 to +80°C, 10–95% RH.
Temperature coefficient ±0.03%/°C over −20 to +50°C.
Altitude derating For this fanless design, reduce the allowed ambient temperature by 3.5°C per 1000 m above 2000 m.
Vibration 10–500 Hz, 2G, 12 minutes per cycle; 72 minutes along each of the X, Y and Z axes.
Performance-curve scope The PF, THD and efficiency plots are 24 V model examples at 230 VAC. The THD/efficiency plots use Tcase 75°C. Use the model-specific efficiency and full-load specifications above for this SKU.

Dimensions, connectors and accessories

Parameter Specification
AC input configuration I version: interchangeable AC plug interface; AC plug is excluded and must be ordered separately.
Housing dimensions 75.5 × 39.1 × 56.2 mm (L × W × H).
Single-unit catalog weight 166 g, taken directly from the I packing entry; not calculated by dividing carton weight.
Standard DC output connector P1J, center positive (C+), tuning-fork type; 5.5 mm outer diameter × 2.1 mm inner diameter × 11 mm nominal insertion length (drawing: 11 ±0.5 mm). Outer contact is negative.
DC output cable UL2468 22 AWG; 1500 mm with +150/−0 mm length tolerance.
Interchangeable AC plug options For GSV30I/GSV60I: AC plug-UK2 (U.K. type) or AC plug-EU2 (European type), ordered separately. The catalog identifies these as the same accessory type used by GEM06–60I.
Optional DC connectors The supplied model is P1J. Alternative factory cable/plug configurations are by customer request and subject to MOQ. Separately sold quick-adapter accessories are available without MOQ; verify exact input/output connector, polarity and current rating before selection.
Quick-adapter selection The catalog lists quick-adapter availability for tuning-fork P1I/P1L/P1M/P1IR/P1JR/P1LR/P1MR, center-pin P4A/P4B/P4C, and male mini-DIN R6B/R7B connector types, with a 7.5 A maximum accessory rating. This accessory limit does not increase the adapter’s rated output current.
Other factory connector options Barrel and locking barrel styles, female R7BF, and stripped/tinned leads are listed as custom output configurations without a quick-adapter accessory in this catalog. Their connector codes do not change the connector supplied on this P1J SKU.
P1J quick-adapter ordering codes Straight tuning-fork: DC PLUG-P1J-P1I, DC PLUG-P1J-P1M, DC PLUG-P1J-P1L. Right-angle tuning-fork: DC PLUG-P1J-P1IR, DC PLUG-P1J-P1MR, DC PLUG-P1J-P1LR, DC PLUG-P1J-P1JR.

MTBF 450,000 hours minimum, MIL-HDBK-217F at 25°C; a reliability estimate, not a guaranteed service life.
Catalog warranty 3 years, subject to the manufacturer’s warranty terms.

Selection and installation

Parameter Specification
Load selection Use an LED load designed for 12 V constant-voltage operation and stay within 2.5 A / 30 W after all required derating. Confirm connector dimensions and center-positive polarity before connection.
External dimming connection The catalog illustrates a constant-voltage adapter feeding an external DC 12–24 V PWM dimmer and LED strip. This is an output-side controller example, not a built-in AC phase-cut dimming function. Verify the controller’s input voltage, load current and output polarity.
Installation and maintenance Disconnect the adapter from mains before installation or maintenance, and prevent unintended reconnection. Use approved primary and secondary cables with current ratings at least equal to the unit rating. Do not immerse the unit in water or open its enclosure; faults must be examined by a qualified technician. A damaged external cable must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person.
Thermal check Keep ventilation clear, apply orientation/ambient derating, and check the marked Tc point against the maximum temperature on the product label. Do not stack objects on the unit; leave 10–15 cm clearance when an adjacent device is a heat source.
System integration EMC depends on the complete installation. The final-equipment manufacturer must re-qualify the complete system and confirm the LED load and any controller are compatible.
