I need a 12v dc wall wart rated at 10mv or above that will accept a 1/8"
cable with the +12v applied to the tip. I did a search and can't find 1/8"
listed on any of the items listed. Thanks


Well, you've got your terms mixed: 10mv? Were you trying to say 10 MA?
or 10 watts? (10 ma of current is not very much, about 1/8 watt of
power).

As to the connector, you may have to fabricate your own end if you
can't find a universal unit to work--but first check both WalMart and
Radio Shack to see what they have.

And figure out what voltage, and current you really need! g



Could I ask what you are powering that needs only 10 MA? That's not
very much power (as I mentioned in my post...) I'm wondering about
voltage regulation with very low current draws from generic wall
warts--many of them will give you much more than 12V when such a light
load is drawn.

Also read the other reply on jack sizes, as I agree that that is
probalby what you are looking for...
