Where to buy AC adapters

[Doggiedog]

I went to Radio Shack to look for some AC adapters but they didn't have any of the ones I was looking for.

I need to get AC adapters for my MP3 player and my digital picture frame.

The MP3 player's (Rio Karma) manufacturer doesn't sell AC adapters for it so I'm looking for a 5V 2A adapter with a really thin plug (not sure of the polarity).

The picture frame needs a 7.5V 1.5A with a standard looking plug (also can't tell the polarity).

Are there any places besides RS that sells these things that have a removeable plugs?

Get a universal one. They're really handy.

I tried looking for one but they seem to only have adjustable voltages not amperages. Also, I haven't been able to find ones with amperages that high. RS didn't have anything about 1A

Thanks!

This one seems to fit the bill for one of them. The amperage is 200ma higher though. Do you think it will damage the device?

Still can't find the other 5V 2A one though. That one has some really thin plug. It looks almost like a needle.

The current rating of your adatpter should EXCEED the requirements of your device. The current rating is an indication of the "strenght" of the adapter, like a strong man, it does not have to work hard to "carry" a light load. The higher the current draw the bigger the load, There is a maximum weight (load) that a person can lift, but he is able to carry lighter loads. Likewise an adapter is able to drive loads requiring lower current, The Current rating is an indication of MAX allowed current draw.
