  • Player One 12V 5A Power Supply - 5.5 x 2.1mm

    The Player One 12V 5A Power Supply is engineered to provide stable, continuous power to all Player One cooled astronomy cameras. It delivers the full 5A current required to operate thermoelectric cooling systems effectively, connecting via a standard 5.5 x 2.1mm barrel plug.

    Stable 12V 5A Power for Cooled Cameras

    A cooled camera's thermoelectric cooler (TEC) requires a significant and stable power source to function correctly. This power supply is rated for a continuous 5A output at 12V, ensuring your camera's sensor can reach and maintain its target temperature without voltage sag or current limitations, which can compromise cooling and introduce noise into your images.

    Standard 5.5 x 2.1mm Connector for Player One Gear

    Equipped with a 5.5mm x 2.1mm center-positive barrel connector, this supply uses the standard interface for all Player One cooled cameras and compatible accessories. This ensures a secure, reliable electrical connection to your equipment. The power supply is available with the correct plug for US, EU, UK, and CN electrical standards, making it suitable for use worldwide.

  • What Player One cameras require this 12V 5A power supply?

    This power supply is required for all Player One cooled cameras that use a 12V DC input. The 5A rating is necessary to power the thermoelectric cooling (TEC) system in addition to the sensor electronics.

    Can I use a different 12V power supply with my Player One camera?

    While other power supplies might work, it is critical that they match the specifications exactly: 12V DC output, a minimum of 5A current rating, and a 5.5 x 2.1mm center-positive barrel connector. Using an under-rated or incorrect power supply can damage your camera or prevent the cooler from performing correctly. This official supply is tested for full compatibility.

    What is the connector type on the Player One 12V 5A power supply?

    The power supply uses a 5.5mm x 2.1mm center-positive barrel connector, which is the industry standard for many astronomy devices, including all cooled cameras from Player One.

    Is this power supply compatible with outlets in my country?

    Yes. The Player One 12V 5A Power Supply is available in several versions to match regional electrical standards. Be sure to select the correct plug type for your location from the available options: US, EU, UK, or CN standard.

    Can this Player One power supply be used to power a telescope mount?

    You should only use this power supply for a telescope mount if the mount's manufacturer specifies a requirement for exactly 12V DC, a current draw of 5A or less, and a matching 5.5 x 2.1mm center-positive input jack. Always verify your mount's power requirements in its manual before connecting any third-party power source.

    Will the Player One 12V 5A power supply work for uncooled planetary cameras?

    No. Player One's uncooled planetary cameras (like the Mars or Neptune series) are designed to be powered entirely through their USB connection. This external 12V power supply is specifically for cooled models to run their high-draw TEC units.
