The S-360-12 (often referred to as S36012) is a widely used 12V 30A (360W) switching mode power supply (SMPS) commonly utilized for LED strips, CCTV systems, and 3D printers. Circuit Overview
Below is a breakdown of the critical stages you will find in a schematic diagram of the S36012 board.
It monitors the output voltage and adjusts the "width" of the pulses to ensure the output stays at a steady 12V, regardless of whether you are drawing 1 Amp or 30 Amps. 3. Switching & Transformation
The brain of the S36012 power supply circuit diagram is the TL494 IC. Its pins are configured as follows:
