The 3-24V 1A Variable DC Power Supply is a versatile, adjustable voltage adapter designed for a wide range of electronics projects, LED lighting, CCTV systems, and DIY applications. With an adjustable output voltage from 3V to 24V DC and a maximum current of 1A, this power supply provides flexible, reliable power for testing, prototyping, and powering devices that require specific voltages. The included free female output cable makes it easy to connect to your project right out of the box.
At the heart of the adapter is a high-efficiency switching power supply circuit that converts AC mains input to a stable, adjustable DC output. The output voltage is set via a rotary selector switch or potentiometer on the adapter, allowing you to choose from common voltages such as 3V, 4.5V, 5V, 6V, 7.5V, 9V, 12V, and 24V (or continuously adjustable depending on the variant). This makes it a versatile tool for powering devices that require different voltages.
The 1A maximum output current provides ample power for:
-
LED strips — Power 5V, 12V, or 24V LED strips (within current limits)
-
CCTV cameras — Power 12V security cameras and DVRs
-
DIY electronics — Prototype circuits requiring 3.3V, 5V, 9V, or 12V
-
Arduino and microcontroller projects — Power boards and peripherals
-
Audio equipment — Power small amplifiers and audio devices
-
Network devices — Power routers, switches, and modems
-
Testing and measurement — Bench power for circuit testing
The adapter features a standard DC barrel jack output (typically 5.5mm × 2.1mm) and includes a free female output cable for easy connection to your project. The LED indicator shows power status, and the compact, lightweight design makes it suitable for bench use, travel, and field applications.
The adapter includes built-in protection circuits including overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection, and over-temperature protection, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
Important Note: The 1A maximum output current is shared across all voltage settings. At higher voltages (e.g., 24V), the maximum current may be lower due to power limitations. Always verify the voltage and current requirements of your device before connecting. The output voltage should be set before connecting sensitive devices.
Whether you are powering an LED strip, testing a prototype circuit, or replacing a lost adapter, the 3-24V 1A Variable DC Power Supply provides a flexible, reliable solution. It is suitable for individual makers, students, and businesses purchasing in bulk for product development or educational programs.
