SoulBay Universal 12V Adjustable Power Adapter

After several attempts to find the correct voltage, this one can be used with a 6V game camera. Our game camera was “eating” the batteries. This is a great solution.

I purchased these to power up my LED strips around the home. They work well in the beginning but eventually fail. I had replaced several with the same brand even getting replacements at no cost but they still end up failing. Some would make a high pitch buzz sound and some fail and end up putting out less voltage then what it’s set at verified with a volt meter. I ordered some new ones elsewhere in hopes they work better.

With this wall wort power supply you can select/ set almost any popular DC output voltage and with the large array of output tips you’ll be able to fit almost any popular power/ charge input plug size. So if you want/ need a highly versatile power supple/ charger change my rating to five stars.

But if you are looking for a replacement for a specific tip size/ voltage I would rate it as I did. The reason is the various tip sizes first have to plug into the end of the output cord. This results in a clumsy combine tip length and would be better to figure out your exact voltage & tip that’s needed and order a ‘wall wort’ that meets those specs. Of course many non-techy people don’t know their needed size. Given how many different sizes/ voltage there are these days… and the number of these charger a typical household has these days… buying one of these to both immediately replace whichever one failed… and once you trial & error the right tip… you can look at tip size that’s stamped on the tip and go back to Amazon and order a wall-wort with ‘factor orginal’ fit tip on the output cord.

This universal charger is a fantastic find! It’s been a lifesaver for a variety of devices, including my toddler’s 7.5-volt electric toy car. When the original charger was lost, this charger came to the rescue. It’s proven to be incredibly versatile, especially for used items that came without chargers – what would have been a deal-breaker is no longer an issue. I’m definitely considering purchasing more of these chargers in the future; they’re just so convenient to have on hand.

Unfortunately, I am 1 day outside my return date? Figures. Been sick. Regardless, this charge cord seems nice in concept due to all the options but, snap-ins don’t always compare to actual charging cables. I’ve tried this one on several of my products, using several strips in several different outlets and…?
All it does is buzz/ sounds like high pitched static/ electrical/radio. It’s a terrible noise that flags “fire hazard.” 🔥. Unfortunately, I was unable to try it out right away. I love the idea but in reality, it’s risky. Sucks I have to eat the cost too- fixed income, and I have to try again with buying another cord. User beware. Certainly don’t walk away from it while in use!

The banner may be a bit misleading; The main output is 24W with an additional 6W USB port. This can be handy if you need to power two devices. My unit lasted for almost 3 years under constant use of the main output alone.

I appreciate the LED indicator that confirms that the adapter is working. (This simple and useful feature is missing from so many other similar power supplies).

A nice array of adapters is included. (None of the barrel adapters include a center pin).

The connector plug of the main output is 5.5mm OD x 2.1mm ID barrel connector, which might fit a variety of devices without the need for an adapter. However, this plug is about 2mm shorter than the standard (10mm) length of the adapter plugs. This may present a connection issue, particularly if the OEM power supply includes a locking ring. This appears to be a design flaw. Such shortcomings may be resolved with the use of a short (6″) extension cable with 5.5mm x 2.1mm male-to-female connectors. Vendors include Amazon, PCH Cables, Valley Enterprises, Show Me Cables, and Parts Express. Look for part number “VB870-DC-MF-6” or “DC-MF-6”.

Wall plug does NOT fold for travel.

Caution:
This power supply is NOT compatible with laptops or other high power equipment that would exceed the rated output.
It may not be compatible with guitar pedals or other music equipment that require opposite polarity unless a reverse adapter is used, e.g.: SoulBay 5.5 x 2.1mm Jack Reverse Polarity Converter Cable for Guitar Piano Pedals Keyboard, Model: DC01N.

How to determine the polarity of the device:
You can easily recognize polarity by looking for a symbol near the DC power input of your device. It should have a “+” and “-” at opposite ends, and a “C” shape in the middle. If the dot in the center of the “C” connects to the -, it’s negative polarity! (the + is on the outside and the – is on the inside). If it’s the reverse of that, it is positive polarity.

absolutely a fine device , lasting forever . recommend
