Can anyone tell me the voltage and amperage of the wall wart power supply for the Phatdock? Also, is the tip positive/sleeve negative as with most wall warts?
Mine is lost and the specs are not printed anywhere I can find. I'm guessing it's pretty standard and I can use any wall wart with the right voltage and same (or more) amperage plus correct plug.
Thanks
Mine works with 12V, center +, barrel -, at 300 mA (although not the original adapter).
Cheers,
Jeff
I use a 12 volt 500mA adaptor. You can go down to 9 volts or possibly lower, but current rating should probably be higher in that case (800mA or more should be OK). The switching regulator in the cradle has a wide input range 9 - 15 volts or so, but it's better to stay near the lower end of the range. As for the plug - yes - centre is positive. Size - outside diameter 5.5mm, inside diameter 2.1mm. You may get away with 5.0mm o/d or 2.5mm i/d variants, but contact will probably be less reliable.
From the U.S. adapter I have here:
Input: 120VAC 60hz 17W
Output: 12V DC 800mA
