The Schneider Electric ABLM1A12021 is a Modicon Power Supply range modular regulated switch-mode power supply delivering 12 V DC at 2.1 A from a 100-240 V AC single-phase input. Rated 25 W, it clips onto an omega DIN rail and carries an internal 3.15 A fuse plus automatic-reset overload and short-circuit protection. A front LED confirms output voltage presence and a QR code links to documentation.
The ABLM1A12021's 2.1 A / 25 W rating suits a small group of 12 V DC devices where the 1 A ABLM1A12010 would run out of headroom. Move to the 4.17 A variant in the same Modicon Power Supply range for a larger 12 V DC load, or drop to the 1 A unit for a single low-draw circuit.
