AC DC adapter

[Chris from Iowa]

I am trying to locate another adapter for my B2, here in the US.  Can anyone point me in the right direction on where I can buy one?

As always, I appreciate all of your help!!

Hi Chris.

As with most things B2/ BB1 the units are put together form common stock IT parts.

You can get what you need either form the Brennan web site shop see:-

or from the link they have to Amazon  (this is to a UK Amazon page but I am sure there will be a US equivalent for you).

Hope this helps 

What intrigues me is what happened to your old power unit ??

Hi Chris,

The spec for the power supply is 24V DC, 3A with a 5.5 x 2.1mm DC plug. A Google search should turn up something similar.

Nothing too exciting, Fred.  I want to easily be able to disconnect B2 from one location and easily plug B2 into another location, so having 2 adapters would simplify this.

Coaxial plugs

Beware! The supplied coaxial plug on an ad- hoc purchase may not actually have a metric centre pin, it may be imperial ( cue Darth Vader March..) Radio spares/ Farnell etc buy in from Far East where they use imperial measurements, the inner pin can sometimes be too large or small for the socket you have, this can provide intermittent power! And they say they are metric……

Horrid multi-adaptor Coax connector are becoming the norm and they have other issues; double check internal pin diameter as often the outside will mate up but not the inner and May say on the box it fits but only just..

It’s a metric Type A, but as you see there are quite a few that “Nearly fit”!

A better explanation of how to tell, if you have eyesight that used to be better!
