Q:
Can this be used with your 12v led strips
Or are there better way to power them.

A:
Thank you for your question, that power supply should be suitable for use with our 12V LED strips. It should work for upto 5m.

Q:
What is the live and earth connection wires and how do I connect this to a pcb?
Asked by: Harrison
A:
Hello,
With these the best way to tell when you have stripped back the wire is with a multimeter. If you set it to read voltage and then place the red probe on one wire and the black probe on the other. If the value reads as a positive value then the red probe is on the positive rail while if it is a minus number then the red probe is touching the negative rail.
Best Regards
Cullen

Q:
Hi. What is the input mains voltage? For example: 110V-240V, 50/60Hz. I would like to know if I can use this power supply unit in Brazil where we use 110V. Many thanks.

Without knowing the board that you want to use I can't really comment on how to power it. We sell all the parts for a high power amplifier here http://www.kitronik.co.uk/products/project-kits/ic-based-kits/high-power-15w15w-stereo-amplifier-pcb-parts-only/ if you wish to build one.

Q:
Hi, ive been roaming ebay for a cheap high power amplifier board for a diy project and ive noticed that the higher power ones dont use these, they use a three wire input and i was just wondering, would i be able to wire up a 12v wall plug connector up to the board so i can use one of these wall plugs??? please respond, thanks alot
Asked by: Ryan
A:
Hi James, this is a UK standard transformer so it accepts 240V @ 50Hz.

Q:
Hi, i'm looking for a cable that connects an amplifier to the mains, the amp is part of the sound system for a computer. the two speakers are connected to the amplifier and the pc but i dont have a cable that connects the amplifier to the mains! Can you help me please? Regards Tony

A:
Without seeing the amplifier it would be very hard for me to say with any certainty that this is the power supply you need or to recommend you an alternative. What however I can do is to let you know what you need to check to make sure that you are getting the right power supply. In no particular order you need to look at four things, these are: The size of the connector, there are two main sizes that look very similar, 2.1mm and 2.5mm DC connector, the dimension refers to the size of the centre pin in mm. All the Kitronik power supplies have a 2.1mm DC jack on the end of the lead. The polarity of the connection, most connections have the centre pin as po
sitive and the outside as negative as do all of our power supplies, however occasionally on some electronics they are the other way around. The voltage of the power supply, this is a bit easier to check as the equipment will normally have some text on the back of it that indicates if it?s a 12V supply, which with a set of computer speakers is likely to be the case, but it could be higher. The current requirements of the electronics, again this will probably be listed on the back of the product, it?s not a problem to have a power supply that is rated higher than you need, except it will probably cost a little more that the lower current equivalent. This power supply is 2A so as long as the equipment needs less than 2 amps you will be fine.
