Thread: Wall Warts

Tweet

Where do you buy them from?

Thrift stores, swap meets and yard sales are a great place to find them cheap.
So many little lost wall warts, looking for a purpose.

Seems like a lot of people end up with power adaptors that no longer have a gadget to power.

If I only had half the ones I had thrown out over the years... I have a bunch of 3,4,5,6v but need some 12v. I got them from Burden once before but the shipping hurts.

Old computer power supplies, perhaps?
They have a 5v and a 12v feed.

Just had a look at my local Craigslist, and found 2 on the "Free" list posted within the last few days.
(checked some New York listings - Syracuse had something a couple of days ago, an older computer - might be something you could use)

Every time i go to my local electronic bulk supply, i see tons of them, surplus and CHEAP! There is usually a voltage out there for just about any haunters needs.

I've got TONS of them just from simply asking my friends and family....ANY time you come up with a wall wart, save it for me OK? Co-workers have really come through too....Just ask, you'll be amazed.....They've really helped getting a pile of POWERED PC speakers too....My hardest find seems to be the 24 volt wall warts....I need them for relays, solenoids,etc.....Good luck!....ZR

Local thrift store has tons of them for about a buck a piece.

I never get rid of them anymore wish the same that I would have kept all of mine from the past lol.

the dollar store carries them.

Can they be joined together in series to increase voltage?
