This constant current DC power supply provides a fixed 12.6V DC output with a constant 10A current output. It is a straightforward option for projects that need a rugged, enclosed supply for compatible loads such as LED lighting-type devices.
The unit is built into a robust metal enclosure with an IP68 rating and uses pre-attached colour-coded leads. Red and black wires are used for the DC input, while yellow and black wires provide the 12.6V output.
It can also be used for charging Li-Ion batteries, but only where the user has good knowledge of the correct charging requirements and safe battery handling.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- load regulation
- Load regulation describes how much a power supply’s output voltage changes when the connected device draws more or less current. Better load regulation helps keep test circuits powered at the voltage you set, even as their current demand changes.
