Adapting to AC-Surplus Transformations
There is an entire class of transformers that surplus dealers call "AC Adapters." What we really mean is transformers that plug directly into the wall (primary voltage 110 VAC), and via a cord and/or plug provide various levels of output current at variou s voltages. It is a rare buyer of surplus that gets the plug configuration he/she wants, and many get snipped off (plugs that is). They are handy power supplies, battery charging units, substitutes for batteries in toys and games, or for providing safe il lumination to models and displays. Be sure to note whether the output is AC or DC (Direct Current, like a battery) and whether it can provide enough current for your application. Unless otherwise noted, all are suitable for indoor use only. Stick with us and you'll get the hang of adapting to AC...and at much lower prices than your friendly appliance/game/computer/calculator shop asks. Unless otherwise noted, all adapters are for 115 volt AC primaries, and all have about 6 ft. cords. (MA=Milliamp) (A=Ampere) (VDC= Volts DC) (VAC= Volts AC).

Turn Your House Into A Car
This power converter takes 120VAC and turns it into 12VDC at up to 1A output. Plug in this standard wall adapter with its built-in cigarette-lighter socket, and when the dog eats your regular cell phone charger, you can just bring in the charger from the car, and use that!

40639 AC TO DC CONVERTER |
USB Adapter
Our low-profile adapter plugs right into the wall (well, into a standard electrical outlet in the wall) and puts out 5VDC at 200mA through a standard USB port. Measures 2-1/4" x 1-7/8" x 15/16", plus the prongs. No charge indicator or circuitry, so check those charging appliances regularly. Handy and cheap.
