![]() I thought this would be the easiest thing I ever shopped for on the Internet, but alas.. I'm looking for a AC120V - AC14V 20VA plug in transformer for an alarm system. I figured there would be hundreds of "Transformers R Us" type websites but I can't seem to find one right off hand. Anybody got a favorite electronics supply vendor that sells these things? Dallas |

Dallas Argh ... nothing found for 14 volts. How about these? 16.5vac @ 40va or 18vac @ 20va: http://www.mpja.com/products.asp?dept=37&main=1 16vac @ 20va: http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a...formers/2.html All three are plug-in transformers for US receptacles. I have purchased from MPJA in the past; good results. Never ordered from AllTronics. |

Dallas Digi-Key lists them, but show them as being a "Non-Stock" item. Call for details: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/Dk...0W&x=21& y=11 I used to have a link to another source of many wall-warts from when I was in college, but I don't find them now. I'll keep looking in my archives. Good luck. |

Jameco also has a 14V wall wart (1A though) http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/sto...ctId=202260 & That may be enough. It's never clear exactly what 20VA is. It could be 14 Watts with no trouble, it could be 20 Watts before it melts down, and it could be 14 or 20 Watts total power drawn including loss in the core of the transformer, etc. Here 230-120 volt conversion transformers are sold in peak VA, but it is sold as if it were Watts (the same thing with UPS's). So a 100 "Watt" (VA) transformer is really good for 70Watts and only for a few microseconds. It's really only useable for about 50 Watts. So my GUESS is that if really does output 14V at a maximum current of 1A, it's really better than a 20VA unit. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S. Mendelson, Jerusalem, Israel N3OWJ/4X1GM |
