Overview
RPS-120-12-C is the 12V output model of this series: typical efficiency 89%.
RPS-120 is a 120W highly reliable green PCB type medical power supply with a high power density on a 4" by 2" footprint. It accepts 80~264VAC input and offers various models with the output voltages between 12V and 48V. The working efficiency is up to 91% and the extremely low no load power consumption is down below 0.3W. RPS-120 is able to be used for both ClassⅠ(with FG) or ClassⅡ(no FG) system design. The extremely low leakage current is less than 190μA. In addition, it conforms to the international medical regulations (2*MOPP) and EMC BS EN/EN55011, perfectly fitting all kinds of BF rated "patient contact" medical system equipment.

Test conditions and notes7
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1μf & 47μf parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- 5. Touch current was measured from primary input to DC output.
- 6. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
- 7. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf )

FAQ
Can I use the RPS-120-12-C in a medical device enclosure where touch protection matters?
Yes, this version is a strong fit for medical equipment because it is medical safety approved and built with extremely low leakage current. It provides 12V constant-voltage output at 7A (84W) by convection, or 10A (120W) with a 10CFM fan.
Is the RPS-120-12-C suitable for 12V automation, embedded, or industrial electronics?
It is suitable for 12V control and embedded equipment when the load stays within 7A/84W by convection or 10A/120W with a 10CFM fan. The supply accepts 80-264VAC input and is sized at 103.4 × 62.0 × 40.0 mm.
Can the RPS-120-12-C power compact 12V monitoring or communications equipment?
Yes, it can be used for compact 12V equipment in industrial or IT cabinets where a regulated supply is needed. The unit weighs 0.24 kg and measures 103.4 × 62.0 × 40.0 mm.
When would I choose the RPS-120-12-C over the open-frame RPS-120-12?
Both models share the same electrical ratings, 12V at 7A/84W by convection or 10A/120W with a 10CFM fan, along with the same -30°C to +70°C operating range (with output derating per the derating curve). The difference is the physical package: RPS-120-12 is a 101.6 × 50.8 × 29.0 mm, 0.15 kg PCB type, while RPS-120-12-C is an enclosed 103.4 × 62.0 × 40.0 mm, 0.24 kg type.
Is the RPS-120-12-C suitable for outdoor use?
No IP rating is listed for this model, so it should be used in protected indoor equipment rather than exposed outdoor locations. Its operating temperature range is -30°C to +70°C (with output derating per the derating curve), but environmental sealing must come from the enclosure around it.
