What kind of AC adapter do I need with this? Details inside...

[purbeast0]

Here is a pic of the plug and the details of what is needed (I think):

The size of the plug is about 5mm. I just have no clue what type of AC adapter I need for it like from a power spec side of things. I don't know how to read that stuff or what to search for.

Most of these should work (ignore the second product listed).

Amazon.com : ac/dc 24v

The only problem I see is that I need an adapter that takes a wire into it, not one with a wire coming out of it. This is going to this little Xmas tree my wife has which has the wire running out of it already.

24V, 250MA. That's a lot of amps. Good luck, OP.

 

[lxskllr]

I save a lot of my electronic junk, What I would do is get stuff out of my box of crap, and hack together the connectors needed. I might even have a 24v transformer, but I doubt it.

 

[snoopy7548]

I'm not sure if you need an AC adapter. It seems like you should have an AC plug for the lights, and the output of your plug is 24V/250mA.

For those types of DC plugs, those are usually the "live" end that supplies the power.

I found this. Try at your own risk...

Problem found.

Anything that can put out 25v and at least 250ma. It can be more than 250ma, it does not matter (lot of people don't seem to realize this) as long as the voltage is not higher.

In fact an automation transformer would technically work... is this just for incandescent bulbs? Guessing it's a Christmas light set?

I need whatever it is called, that plugs into that plug, then goes into the wall. It was a power block basically.

Yes it's for a small Christmas tree that has lights on the branches already.

So, get a 24vdc output transformer say 400ma with a 2.5mm x 5.5mm connector. Cut both connectors off and solder the cables together. Noting polarity first of course.

 

[Iron Woode]

How about a pic of said tree?

Be honest, you meant "wife" not "tree."

Okay so something like this would work then right?

And with the little adapter, I wouldn't have to splice the transformer wire, only the wire coming from the tree, and I can just screw it into the adapter instead of soldering.

 

[snoopy7548]

I feel like there's a better solution to this than splicing wires.

Overkill, it's 3000mA. But it will work.

No, look at his alias. He is really into trees.

I just found one for like $10 and ordered it last night.

Thanks.

If you don't mind cutting the plug, soldering and using some heatshrink...This adapter from Atlas Sound looks to be the same specs:

Atlas Sound TSD-PS24V250MA 24VDC, 250MA TSD Power Supply

Why waste something that works just because of a lost power supply. Splicing wires is not really a big deal. Solder a 24v source to the wires and use shrink wrap and call it a day.

 

[Iron Woode]

Perhaps the tree manufacturer stills sells them at a decent price?

Target has a pre-lit mini tree for $14, not much difference than the price of the adapter, and my labor isn't free.

You are making a lot of assumptions which are false.

"A lot"? How many are we talking here?
