Product Information
Full details
This ENER-J 24V 150W SMPS Driver is designed for users needing a stable and reliable power source for low-voltage DC applications like LED lighting and electronic devices. Its key benefit is consistent power delivery within a compact, durable design. A caveat to note is its IP20 rating, meaning it's suitable only for indoor, dry environments. This driver offers universal input voltage, multiple safety protections, and a robust metal casing.

FAQs
What is the IP rating of this SMPS driver?
This driver has an IP20 rating, which means it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm (like fingers) but offers no protection against water or moisture. It is strictly for indoor use.
Can I use this driver outdoors or in a damp environment?
No, due to its IP20 rating, this driver is designed exclusively for indoor, dry environments. Exposure to moisture or outdoor conditions can cause damage and is not covered under warranty.
What types of devices can this driver power?
It can power any device that requires a stable 24V DC input and has a total power consumption of 150W or less. Common uses include 24V LED strips, some security cameras, and low-voltage electronic equipment.
How do I connect this driver?
Connect your mains AC power (110-220V) to the input terminals (L, N) and your 24V DC device to the output terminals (+V, -V), ensuring correct polarity. It is recommended to have basic electrical knowledge or consult a qualified electrician for installation.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The ENER-J SMPS Driver T685 comes with a 2-year guarantee.
What happens if the connected load exceeds 150W?
If the total power draw from the connected devices exceeds 150W, the driver's overload protection will activate, shutting off the output to prevent damage to the driver and the connected equipment. You will need to reduce the load to below 150W and then reset the power.
Can I connect two of these drivers in parallel to get more current?
Connecting multiple drivers in parallel to increase current output is generally not recommended without specific design considerations and expertise, as it can lead to unbalanced load sharing and potential issues. It is best to use a single driver appropriately sized for your total load.
Troubleshooting
Driver does not power on (no output voltage)
Check that the AC input is correctly connected to a live power source (110/220V AC). Verify that the power switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. Ensure the AC input connections are secure and correct (L, N). Check if any safety protections (overload, short-circuit) have been triggered; disconnect power, resolve the issue on the output side, and try again.
Output voltage is unstable or flickering
Ensure the total load connected to the driver does not exceed its 150W capacity. Check all DC output connections for looseness or intermittent contact. If powering LED strips, verify they are rated for 24V DC and are correctly wired. Ensure the AC input power is stable.
Device connected to the driver does not work
Verify that the connected device is designed for 24V DC power. Double-check the polarity of the DC output connection (+V to +, -V to -). Ensure the device's power requirement is within the 150W limit of the driver.
Driver becomes excessively hot
Ensure the driver is installed in a well-ventilated area and that the ventilation slots are not blocked. Reduce the load if it is close to or exceeding the 150W limit. If overheating persists, discontinue use and contact support.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reliable and stable 24V DC output
- Built-in safety features protect against common electrical faults
- Versatile universal input voltage compatibility
- Durable metal construction for longevity
- Compact size for easy installation
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the power supply is disconnected from any power source.
- Connect the AC input terminals (L, N) to your mains power supply (110-220V AC). Refer to the labels on the unit.
- Connect the DC output terminals (+V, -V) to your 24V DC device (e.g., LED strips, electronic components). Ensure correct polarity (+ to +, - to -).
- Securely mount the driver in a well-ventilated indoor location, away from moisture and heat sources.
- Restore AC power. The device should now provide a stable 24V DC output.
Compatibility:
- This driver is compatible with any device requiring a 24V DC power input and drawing a combined total of 150W or less.
- Suitable for LED lighting (strips, modules), small DC motors, security cameras, and other low-voltage electronic equipment.
- Not compatible with devices requiring AC power or different DC voltages.
Care:
- Keep the unit clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure ventilation slots are clear of dust and obstructions.
- Regularly inspect the unit and connected wires for any signs of damage.
- Only for indoor use (IP20 rated). Do not expose to water or high humidity.
