Switching Power Supply 25 W 12 V DC – MEAN WELL S-25-12
The S-25-12 is a single output switching power supply 25 W / 12 V DC (“Single Output Switching Power Supply”) manufactured by MEAN WELL. It belongs to the S-25 series, featuring a universal AC input of 85–264 V AC (or 120–370 V DC) and a regulated output of 12 V DC / 2.1 A. It is documented as a component in CNC control cabinets, industrial automation systems, and electronic equipment in general. The unit is fanless (natural convection cooling) and compliant with CE/UL standards. The output voltage is adjustable via an onboard trimmer in the 10–13 V range; no significant revision variants exist in the standard version.
The S-25-12 provides the regulated 12 V DC auxiliary supply required to power logic boards, relays, transducers, displays, and other subsystems inside the CNC control cabinet. A failure results in loss of voltage across all 12 V circuits: the machine stops, drives lose their auxiliary supply, and the CNC cannot complete the enable sequence. In many control cabinets it is a critical, non-redundant component.
MEAN WELL is a Taiwanese switching power supply manufacturer founded in 1982, now one of the world’s leading suppliers with over 10,000 catalog models and worldwide distribution. The S-25 series is actively produced and widely available from major global electronics distributors.

Switching Power Supply 25 W / 12 V DC – MEAN WELL PS-25-12
The PS-25-12 is a single-output enclosed switching power supply (“Single Output Switching Power Supply”) rated at 25 W, manufactured by MEAN WELL, with a regulated output of 12 V DC / 2.1 A and universal input 85–264 V AC. It belongs to MEAN WELL’s PS series, designed for industrial applications, CNC control panels, machine tools and automation systems. The internal part number is PS2512. There are no output-voltage variants under this part number: the trailing “12” uniquely identifies the 12 V output version.
The power supply delivers the regulated 12 V DC voltage to logic circuits, relays, sensors and control boards inside the CNC machine’s electrical cabinet. A power supply failure immediately disables all 12 V-powered subsystems: the machine loses control over I/O, safety interlocks and internal communications, making any machining operation impossible until the unit is replaced.
MEAN WELL is a Taiwanese manufacturer founded in 1982 and a world leader in standard switching power supplies. With over 10,000 models in its catalogue, its products are used in industrial automation, machine tools, LED lighting and distributed control systems. The PS series is legacy / discontinued: it has been superseded by newer series (RS, MDR, HDR), but remains widely available as used or surplus stock.
