Power Adapters From Campad Electronics

Campad Electronics offers a comprehensive range of AC/DC power adapters designed to meet the needs of hobbyists, technicians and businesses across Australia. The switch mode power supply range delivers stable, regulated DC output across a wide selection of voltages and current ratings, ensuring that suitable power solutions are available for a broad spectrum of electronic devices and applications.

As an Australian supplier, Campad Electronics understands that dependable power conversion is fundamental to the safe and consistent operation of electronic equipment. The range includes plug-pack style adapters and open-frame power supplies, providing options for both portable and fixed installations.

Efficient & Reliable Designs

Switch mode power supplies differ from traditional linear power supplies in how they handle incoming AC mains electricity. Rather than dissipating excess energy as heat, switch mode units use high-frequency switching transistors to convert power efficiently, which results in less wasted energy and cooler operation.

The practical benefits of this design approach include:

• Higher efficiency compared to linear power supplies, reducing energy consumption and operating costs
• Compact and lightweight construction, making installation and mounting more convenient
• Regulated output voltage, ensuring connected devices receive a stable DC supply
• Built-in protection features including short-circuit and overvoltage protection on many models
• Reduced heat generation, which can extend the service life of both the power supply and surrounding components

The range includes buck converters, boost converters and buck-boost configurations, allowing the appropriate topology to be matched to the specific voltage requirements of the application.

Voltage Options Available

Campad Electronics stocks AC/DC power adapters covering common voltage requirements. The selection includes:

• Low-voltage options: 4.5V, 5V and 6V adapters suitable for small electronics, sensors and microcontroller projects
• Medium-voltage options: 7.5V, 9V, 12V and 14V units for routers, modems, LED lighting, security equipment and general-purpose applications
• Higher-voltage options: 15V, 18V, 19V and 24V power supplies for laptops, industrial equipment and larger systems
• 48V power supplies for telecommunications, LED strip lighting and specialised equipment

Current ratings range from 350mA through to 12A, allowing the correct power supply to be matched to the load requirements of the device being powered. Connector sizes include common 2.1mm and 2.5mm DC plug options and several models feature removable plug fittings for added flexibility.

Specific plug-pack models include a 5V 1A unit, 9V 1.2A version, 12V 2.5A adapter and a 19V 3.16A supply with removable plug. For higher-power requirements, open-frame style supplies such as the 12V 12A unit and the 24V 10A 240W model are available.
