Adapters

AC-DC and AC-AC Adapters

Also listed as AC-DC Adapters

Desktop, wall, and plug-in styles, EN 61558

An external power adapter converts line voltage to a regulated low-voltage output for an end device, either as AC-DC (rectified and filtered, sometimes switch-mode) or AC-AC (transformer-only, no rectification). Adapters ship as desktop ('brick'), wall-plug, or plug-in styles, with the transformer or converter stage enclosed in plastic or metal. Output is fixed to a single voltage and current rating per part, sized to the load and terminated with a barrel connector, bare leads, or a plug matched to the target region. Enclosure and cordset selection typically follow the deployment: wall-plug for compact, low-power devices; desktop for higher-power loads that need a separate output cable.

Insulation

Air, oven-dried varnish, polyurethane, or epoxy potting, depending on the enclosure style and output rating.

Specifications

What a part in this family is specified by, and the two ways to get the figures for yours.

Specified by

A part in this family is pinned down by the figures below. Quote the ones your design fixes and we will confirm the rest.

  • Type
  • Input voltage
  • Output voltage
  • Output current
  • Enclosure style
  • Connector / plug type

Two ways to get the numbers

  • Catalog datasheet

    The factory's product catalog, covering the line as a whole. Per-family datasheets are not published separately.

  • Your requirement, our part number

    Send the rating, voltages, footprint, and termination you need. We come back within 48 hours with a part number and the figures behind it.

Per-part specifications for the adapter line are not listed on this page yet. Confirm the input/output voltage, output current, enclosure style, and connector type for a specific part number with a quote through the custom inquiry.
