ablaze 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2003 bought one of these (*gasp*) Malaysian-made power supplies from SLT just now. 24v DC-regulated 1A max. brand: Teletron http://www.teletron.com.my/Products_Power_Supply.htm (TC-2401PQ) it says "regulated" on the adapter itself, but how do I tell if its linear or switching? its quite big and heavy, at least bigger than the usual voltage-switchable, Newstar adapters commonly found ps. unloaded, it tests at 24.8v using a multimeter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtfoo 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2003 The IC that is attached to the huge heat sink, what's the printing on it? It could a regulator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablaze 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2003 ok, lets just assume its regulated. my question is, can you tell if its switching or non-switching? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtfoo 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2003 Non switching.. There's appeared to be a rectifies diodes, one big black power cap, suspected regulator IC, and small purple filtering cap after the regulator.. Pretty basic regulated power supply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablaze 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2003 non-switching = linear? so essentially its a 24v linear regulated DC psu? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtfoo 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2003 Yup, it 's likely a linear DC PSU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
