Universal Adapter - ac adapter, universal adapter


If you have ever misplaced the AC adapter for an electronic device, you'll wish you had one of these around the house.



It comes with 12 different plugs, so odds are very good that one will fit just about any device. The polarity can also be change from + on the center to - on the center for 'non-standard' items. Of course, the down-side to the 4-way adapters, is that there are 3 unused plugs sticking out in all directions. A little awkward, but in a pinch, it's better than nothing.



There is also a voltage selector switch with the options of 1.5, 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, and 12 VDC. That should cover almost every option.



The 300 mA output current is sufficient for most electronics.



The one thing that is missing is a 9V battery eliminator plug. Universal Ac Adapter

Works great. Make sure you follow the directions. My CD player had the polarity marked on the jack (hole where you plug in the AC adapter). It was a lot cheaper than the Radio Shack models...which only come with one size plug. This model is much more versatile.

although it does have eight (8) different female leads, this product did not do the job for me and sits in the "everything" drawer: i needed it to use in place of the adapter i lost for the portable CD player - although one female lead DID fit...it did not power the device. (granted, it does NOT promise to power EVERY device...but you would think that with that many different sizes, well,...)

It works great but it is a little thick ...Meaning it is hard to use on some outlets with a closing cover,which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. With that said it works great. It is a great price too for so many options. Radio shack wanted twice as much for just one option.

No more looking for the proper adapter!

I went to several local stores to get one of these adaptors and, if they had any at all, they did not have one with as many voltage selections. So, I went onto Amazon and lo and behold, I found what I wanted and for considerably less than the lower featured one at the local stores. It works well and I am satisfied with it.

This so-called Philips "Universal AC Adapter" could as well be called a DC adapter, since its output is DC. There is a plug to fit all of my gadgets. I got it to use as a 9 Vdc, center-negative supply for my Behringer UMX49 MIDI keyboard. It works fine. - Ac Adapter - Universal Adapter'
