The SBT power supplies are made by Phihong and can be bought from mouser.com ( http://ie.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Phihong/PSA15R-050PV-R/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMuep2RzTrr6lTWaqVfkP6PHnvBVv%252bcC%2fEA%3d ) . Mouser has many international sites and ships worldwide. The phihong supplies have interchangeable plates (e.g. UK, US, Aus) and certified in different countries. Phihong is also available from other suppliers. The phihong 5V supplies seem to have a 2.1mmx5.5mm barrel as standard. > > I also don't see why someone would re-use a working power supply from a > working SBT.

Having many compaitble supplies makes life easy. This is what is happening with phones/tablets and mini-usb connectors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
