What is Ktec AC adapter used for?

Ktec makes a number of different 12 V AC to DC adapters that are basically external power supplies used with devices that run on batteries or have no other power source. Each of these Ktec 12 V power adapters or power supplies consists of a converter unit that is plugged into an AC wall socket.

Can you use a 12V adapter for a 6V device?

If the device has its own internal switching regulator, the voltage probably won’t be a problem, but since the 12V power supply has a lower maximum power (12V * 0.35A = 4.2W, and 6V * 1A = 6W), it may draw too much power and the power supply will be damaged.

Are all DC adapters the same?

– Yes, they are likely interchangeable even though voltage is not the same. This is because the voltage difference is within specs, and I am GUESSING you could go even higher or lower in voltage.

How do I match a DC adapter?

The general rule is to match the V and equal or beat the mAh, so if you are choosing an AC adapter to make sure you check the following, The adapter output V matches the rated input V of the device. The adapter output is greater or equal to the devices rated mAh or A.

What is ITE Power Supply?

ITE(Information technology Equipment) / ICT(Information and communications technology) Power Supplies and adapters. Such AC DC adapters and power supplies are intended for use in general electronics applications such as computers, telecom equipment, audio/video equipment, and countless others.

How do I know what size DC plug I need?

Connector size is often listed in the format OD (outer diameter) × ID (inner diameter) × L (length of barrel) and expressed in millimeters. Designations may vary between manufacturers. Coaxial plugs that have a male center pin will have another measurement, Center Pin Diameter (CPD).

How do you cut 12V to 6V?

It’s possible to step 12 volts down to 6 volts by incorporating a pair of 10,000-ohm resistors into the circuit. Cut two lengths of wire, and strip each wire of 1/2 inch of insulation at each end. Attach one end of the first wire to the positive terminal on the power supply.

How do I find the right AC adapter?

Check the following when selecting an AC adapter:

  1. Make sure the output of the adapter is equal to the input of the device.
  2. The adapter output is greater or equal to the devices rated mAh or A.
  3. Make sure the adapter plug has the correct polarity and smoothly fits into your device.
