A 12V 5A adapter is a power supply unit that provides a constant output of 12 volts with a maximum current capacity of 5 amperes. This kind of adapter is typically used for devices that require 12V DC power and can draw up to 5A. Common uses for a 12V 5A adapter include:

• LED strip lighting (high-power LEDs)
• CCTV cameras
• Car devices (like a car charger, electric fan, etc.)
• Small DC motors or robotics projects
• Charging or powering 12V devices (e.g., small appliances, tools, or electronics)

Key Features:

• Voltage: 12V DC (direct current)
• Current: 5A (amperes)
• Power output: 60W (calculated as Voltage x Current: 12V x 5A = 60W)
• Connector: The adapter will typically come with a barrel jack or a custom connector to fit the device it powers.
