iOptron AC Adaptor, 5A (5.5mm x 2.1mm / 2.5mm)
- Output Current: 5A
- Plug Outer Diameter: 5.5mm
- Plug Inner Diameter: 2.1mm / 2.5mm Compatible
- 12V DC output for iOptron mounts such as the CEM60
This iOptron AC adapter supplies 12V DC at up to 5A through a 5.5mm barrel plug that works with both 2.1mm and 2.5mm center pins. iOptron names it (#8417-50) as a suitable supply for the 12V, 5A max. power input of its CEM60 mount.
A mount's motors draw more current when slewing than when tracking. This adapter is rated for up to 5A at 12V DC, matching the 12V, 5A max. power input iOptron specifies for the CEM60.
This adapter supplies 12V DC at up to 5 amps through a 5.5mm barrel plug (compatible with 2.1mm or 2.5mm center pins). iOptron names it for the 12V power input of the CEM60 mount. Always verify the voltage and plug polarity requirements of your specific device before connecting.
A supply rated for more current than your device draws runs with headroom. Use an adapter whose rating meets or exceeds your device's stated requirement; iOptron, for example, specifies 12V, 5A max. for the CEM60 power input.
Check the technical specifications for your device, usually printed near the power input port or listed in the user manual. The 5.5mm outer diameter with a 2.1mm or 2.5mm inner pin is one of the most common standards for DC power in the astronomy industry, but it's essential to verify compatibility for your specific hardware.
The input voltage range is not specified. You must check the label on the adapter itself to confirm if it supports the voltage of your destination (e.g., 100-240V). If it is not a universal input adapter, using it with an incorrect input voltage will damage the adapter and potentially your astronomy equipment.
