x0xb0x power transformer hard to get?

Post by mikron »

Hello,

I'm having trouble tracking down a 9v AC power transformer.....

Does anyone happen to know where i might pick one up that runs on 240v mains?

Thanks

Pete

If you're UK based this may be a cheaper option

I have one of these already (although mine looks a little different - but my amazon history says that's the one...)

thanks peoples. I checked em both out but I'm in Australia so Amazon no good? I got completely lost at farnell site. I'm a real novice at this and what I was calling a power transformer is actually something else technically and what i want is maybe called a power supply???? anyways u knows wat i mean? I'll keep on a search chin :?

Hi Mikron try this,

Specs:

9VAC 300-500mA

2.1mm barrel adaptor.


it looks like it has the 2.1mm Barrel type (and all of the others) and it's 1Amp (1000mA), so with a splitter cable, it should run 2 of them fine.

I agree with danyool001, the one he refers to is a closer match to the standard x0xb0x power supply (500mA). I pointed out the other as I always look for something that has some other uses (extra plugs), as well as some power to spare (1000mA).

Thanks very much for that. You make it too easy for me! I thought maybe I needed a regulated supply ( that explains why i was having so much trouble searching ) Seems the unregulated ones at radioparts and jaycar would both do the trick then?

Cheers

Guys, just look on eBay for the transformer. I got mine from eBay for $5 with free shipping. It came two days after I ordered it.

help people in Oz! i need another plug pack!

4 years on and the 500ma 9V AC adapter from radio parts is discontinued

they have a 670 ma one but is this ok for my x0x?

I've also been lead to believe the 1000ma one from jaycar is no good as AC plugpacks are unregulated and will provide a higher voltage if all of the 1000ma isnt used? < does this sound right ?

thanks guys
