The Great Search: Multi-Voltage/Split AC-DC Power Supplies


Listen Later

This week on the Great Search, we saw someone on social media talking about repairing an old device that has a 'split' supply with multiple voltages. (https://twitter.com/dorksince93/status/1779346977861615666)
Usually your AC-DC adapter converts 110~220VAC into 12VDC. But sometimes you need +12V, -12V, plus maybe a 5V for good measure. And sometimes the connector ends up being a DIN because it has to support so many different voltages!

Let's show how we can find this kind of device, as well as a matching cord (https://www.digikey.com/short/n8z3h7nn) on DigiKey so that we can resuscitate some old devices and keep them out of the landfill!
