DIGITUS DN-PWR-SST-1512 — 12 V / 15 W Step-Shape DIN-Rail Power Supply
12 V DC · 1.25 A · 15 WUltra-Slim · 18 mmClass II · LPSAC or DC input
The DIGITUS DN-PWR-SST-1512 is a compact 15 W DIN-rail power supply that delivers a regulated 12 V DC at up to 1.25 A from a single 18 mm-wide module on a TH35 rail. Its step-shaped housing is the profile used in modern distribution boards, so it sits flush behind a standard cover plate next to breakers and modular devices. DIGITUS designs it for sensors, IoT gateways and low-voltage electronics in automation, building-automation and security installations.
Input is wide-range: 90–264 V AC or 127–370 V DC, so the same module works on 230 V mains and on a DC bus. The output is trimmable from 10.8–13.8 V, regulated to ±2%, and protected against short circuit and overload with automatic recovery, plus an overvoltage limit of 14.2–16.2 V. The double-insulated Class II design needs no protective earth, and the unit is certified to UL 62368-1 and EN 62368-1 with EN 55032 Class B emissions.
Before you order: The 18 mm Ultra-Slim models are rated only up to +47 °C ambient. In a sun-exposed or crowded cabinet that runs hotter, choose a 35 mm Slim model (rated to +70 °C) instead.
What's in the Box
- 1 × DIGITUS Step-Shape DIN-rail power supply 12 V / 15 W (DN-PWR-SST-1512)
- 1 × Quick Installation Guide
- No DIN rail, wiring or end clamps included
What It Means in Practice
- Load budget: 1.25 A at 12 V (15 W). Add up the maximum current of your sensors or controller and keep about 20% in reserve.
- Width on the rail is only 18 mm (1 module), height 90 mm and depth 58 mm — it fits shallow distribution boards with a standard step profile.
- Terminal order is printed on the unit: +V (1), -V (2), AC/N (3), AC/L (4). Wiring must be done by a qualified electrician with the supply isolated.
- Overload is handled in hiccup mode: the output switches off and retries automatically once the fault is gone — no manual reset needed.
What Will Not Work
- It will not power loads above 1.25 A / 15 W — use a larger unit for motors, PoE switches or heaters.
- It will not stay within rating in cabinets hotter than +47 °C ambient.
- It is not a plug-in adapter: no mains plug, no barrel jack and no USB output.
- No status relay, battery backup or redundancy function is published.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it need an earth connection?
No. The unit is Class II (double insulated), so only L and N are connected on the input side. Follow local wiring regulations for the installation itself.
Can I feed it from a DC supply?
Yes. DIGITUS specifies a DC input range of 127–370 V DC in addition to 90–264 V AC — useful on high-voltage DC buses. It is not suitable for 12 V or 24 V DC sources.
Which other outputs are available in this series?
DIGITUS offers the Step-Shape series as DN-PWR-SST-125 (5 V/12 W), DN-PWR-SST-1512 (12 V/15 W), DN-PWR-SST-1524 (24 V/15 W), DN-PWR-SST-2412 (12 V/24 W) and DN-PWR-SST-3624 (24 V/36 W).
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The DN-PWR-SST-1512 is a well-documented little module: DIGITUS publishes ripple, regulation, MTBF and the full certification list, which is exactly what an installer needs for sensor and IoT circuits. It is the compact choice for one or two 12 V devices such as a small router, sensor hub or access-control reader, within its +47 °C limit. For network gear in the same cabinet, see our
rack accessories and ask us about the right supply for switches.
✓ Buy it if you need a small, certified 12 V DC supply of up to 15 W that fits a step-profile distribution board.
✕ Skip it if your cabinet runs above +47 °C or the load exceeds 1.25 A at 12 V.
→ Also consider DIGITUS DN-PWR-SST-2412 for 12 V up to 2 A and +70 °C.
