US plug-in transformer 12V AC 20VA – TDC Power DA-20-12 power supply unit (white, 120V US-plug)

TDC Power DA-20-12 US plug-in transformer 12 V AC 20 VA at a glance

The TDC Power DA-20-12 US plug-in transformer is a compact AC/AC power supply unit for operation on a 120 V power grid. It converts 120 V AC to 12 V AC and is therefore suitable for compatible low-voltage lighting, halogen lamps, and other electrical consumers that are specifically operated with 12 V AC voltage.

With an output of 20 VA and the integrated US Type A plug, the plug-in transformer is particularly suitable for applications in the USA as well as for suitable export devices. The white housing blends discreetly into light-colored living and installation areas.

120 V AC input for US power grids

The US plug-in transformer for 120 V is designed for corresponding power grids and operates at a mains frequency of 50/60 Hz. Thanks to the directly integrated US Type A plug, the transformer can be operated at a suitable socket without a separate power cable.

12 V AC output voltage

On the output side, the power supply unit provides 12 V AC voltage. This makes the transformer suitable for compatible low-voltage lamps, halogen systems, and electronic consumers that explicitly require a 12 V AC supply.

20 VA for low-voltage lighting and electronics

With an output of 20 VA, the DA-20-12 is particularly suitable for smaller low-voltage applications. These include suitable halogen lighting, compatible AC LED systems, as well as compatible electronic and control devices.

Compact plug-in design in white

The compact design allows for uncomplicated and space-saving use. The white housing is unobtrusive and is particularly suitable for visible socket areas and light-colored room designs.

Typical areas of application

• Low-voltage lighting with 12 V AC
• Halogen lamps and halogen lighting systems
• Suitable 12 V AC LED systems
• Electronics and control units with 12 V AC
• Replacement for compatible AC/AC plug-in transformers
• Export devices and applications for US power grids

Important note

The plug-in transformer is exclusively intended for a mains voltage of 120 V AC and must not be operated directly on a German or European 230 V power grid.

The output provides 12 V AC voltage and is therefore not suitable for devices or LED products that explicitly require 12 V DC direct current. The maximum output of 20 VA must not be exceeded. The product is intended exclusively for indoor use.
