Power Adapter for DE-5000
(1/6) > >>
David Hess:
I finally bought a DE-5000 LCR meter and it works fine, however I am not completely happy with the AC power adapter that I picked up for it.  Based on a recommendation in the forum, I bought this AC power adapter, and it works, but it occurs to me now that a USB to 9 volt power adapter would be more convenient.

What do you think?

What is it about that power adapter that you don't like?

The odd shape and size take up too many AC outlets.  USB has oddly enough become more convenient but I did not think of it at the time.

Wow that's a lot of money for a generic Chinese wall wart, you can buy the same thing direct from China for around $5.

I'd buy something from a supplier like Mouser or Digikey that is in a more convenient form factor, they make wall warts in several different shapes. There are also the type of power supply that has a separate cord on it.

The challenge is the plug size, most plug are either too wide to fit, or too short that it kept falling out.  So be careful as you shop for alternatives, the exact plug is somewhat hard to find.

I end up getting the proper plug, and then powering it with a bench supply.
