Samlex SEC-1223 23A / 25A Peak Switching Power Supply

LOVE these little power supplies. I use them for my ham radios. I have one that is 9 years old and just had to replace some bad capacitors in it, but it's still working great and I definitely recommend these.UPDATE 12/18/2018: On my oldest SEC-1223 (bought in 2007), I've noticed that the plastic housing of the power output terminals are cracking and need to be replaced, but I'm having trouble finding them. Unfortunately the holes in the case are square, so a typical round post isn't going to work.

Perfect power supply for my Motorola XTL5000 base station. Well made, compact size.

Does a great job with my Icom IC-718.

I have always had great service from Amazon and never hesitate in using your shop when I can. This last transaction was no different from what I have experienced previously spot on well done in a very difficult current trading environment. Thanks regards Bruce Findlater

Nice small package that works perfectly.

Does everything it is spec’d for. No RFI that I am able to detect. Solid build. Will update if necessary.

On fire

powers radio I bought it for

I "broke" my Power Supply and had to buy a new one. The Samlex SEC-1223 is the best choice and I have no problem recommending it to anyone looking for the best power supply in this power category.I noticed that Yaesu sells the Samlex SEC-1223 with their part number on it. This tells me that Yaesu has done their home work and found the Samlex a reliable product.

I've been using this power supply to run my Kenwood TM-V71 2M/70cm radio and my Galaxy 959b CB radio for over a year now and it just keeps working. I have the two radios and power supply in a stack on my desk with only a few inches between each item and I've never had any issues.

Good, high current power supply. Seems to be RF quiet.

Small, lightweight and clean power. Might buy another one.Edit...12/2/2017I did buy another one. It lasted just over a year.The supply was used for a 25 watt 2 meter transceiver, so it was loafing along.The first unit I bought is going strong. It is used for a HF 100 watt radio. It has been great.If the failed unit is not under warranty, I'll attempt a home repair.If it can't be repaired, and I need a new supply, perhaps......perhaps I'll replace it with an identical unit.Thus, I like the supply enough to put up with some problems......

This is a very nice power supply. Have only had it a little while. Using it at the moment to power a 2-meter mobile ham transceiver that I'm using as a base station at home.The supply just sits there and does its thing. No problem transmitting on high power (about 65 watts I think) but I rarely use high power. Hams I talk to say my signal is fine with no hum or noise. I've read a few reviews of this power supply and they seemed really positive.They even provide nice connectors you can solder onto your power cable, to get a perfect fit for the screw terminals on the supply.Nice to see a well-designed and manufactured item. Recommended....

Powering a FT-857D around the clock for 1 month now. So far so good.

These are great power supplies. We use many of these. Some are over 10 years old now, run 24 hours a day with no issues.

Using this supply for my old Kenwood TS-440S. Works very well, no noticeable hash on HF. Measured current at a little over 17 amps during transmit.

I have purchased a number of SAMLEX power supplies over the years, which have all served me well at my amateur radio station. This offering from API is the latest revision of the SEC-1223, which arrived very quickly, and in perfect condition. I would definitely purchase from API again!

Very nice portable but efficient power source. not bulky and perfect for the ham shack. very nice

I've relied on these switching power supplies before for my ham radio transceivers. Filtering seems adequate on the HF bands I operate and for VHF/UHF. I ordered this to replace a linear power supply that was zapped by a lightning strike.

This power supply is one hell of a WORK HORSE unit. Trust every word here because I see these units in action daily. Our security guards use these for their radio transmitters. Are you paying attention here...here it comes -- My employer NEVER closes it doors, we work three shifts 24/7 except Christmas day...BUT Security must be in the building even on Christmas day walking their rounds. So what does this tell you, my employer opened their doors 14-AUG-2007 and these power Supplies were turned on three weeks prior to that date. They have NEVER been turned off since that date. We currently use four of these units in house. They impress me enough, I'm buying a couple to use in my personal home. These are a total work horse, tough as nail.UPDATE:Today is 03-JAN-2015 -- it's been 7.5 years since the day they were turned on, they are still working.These powers supplies are still turned on at my work place. They're still being used daily on all three shifts and they have NOT been turned off, replaced or a sent out to for repair yet. I never seen such a reliable unit in all my life. That has to tell you something folks. I'm not joking here, I'm not feeding you a line of BS, I'm 100% honest here, and Trust me...If one of these goes down or happens to be replaced at my business, I would it, I do the inventory on these units. Not to mention the half inch dust I see laying on top of them in their locations.
