How do I find 12v dc wall wart?
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 |

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 |

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... |

Sorry 10mA Try an electronics store - some generic ones have a variety of plugs that clip on. Smallest are usually 200mA +, so you won't have a probelm there. geoff PS - Do get the plug adaptor the right way around for the polarity you want !. |
