automatic detection of input voltage
Explanation:
I would prefer to call such power supplies "switched-mode power supplies with active PFC automatic detection of input voltage." Thus, 自动侦测输入电压 would be the right term.

“自动侦测电压输入PFC”可以译为:“PFC (Power Factor Correction) for auto-sensing power input”或者是“auto-sensing power input with PFC function”。

Input voltage auto-sensing PFC


Explanation:
FIrst, apologies for submitting a separate answer (I couldn't' decide which entry to comment on).

Your phrase sounds like a specification, and in English the terms are typically listed separately. Hence to be compact and precise, I suggest that if you are listing them, list them separately, such as:

- 240V input voltage, auto-sensing
- PFC

Or, break them down appropriately:

240V input voltage auto-sensing (PFC)
240V auto-sensing input voltage (PFC)

Note: I'm no expert either.
