The Eaton Tripp Lite PS3612B is a 12-outlet vertical power strip designed to distribute 120V AC power to multiple connected devices. It provides twelve NEMA 5-15R receptacles, a 15A resettable circuit breaker, and a 15-ft. power cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug.
Power Distribution and Outlet Layout
The 36-inch housing provides twelve AC outlets with approximately 2.63 inches of center-to-center spacing. The spacing accommodates many standard power adapters and transformers while allowing multiple devices to connect along the strip.
Mounting and Installation
The PS3612B supports both vertical and horizontal mounting. Included mounting clips allow the power strip to be secured to a wall or other flat surface, making it suitable for work areas, equipment locations, retail displays, and other installations requiring distributed AC outlets.
Switch and Circuit Protection
A lighted two-position on/off switch controls power to all outlets. The switch has a transparent protective cover to help prevent accidental turn-off. A built-in 15A resettable circuit breaker interrupts AC input when an overload condition is detected.
