5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a small power supply that delivers, July 29, 2007

By	Dan (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

This adapter (PSSMV1) is _exactly_ what I was looking for. This is actually a _regulated_ switching DC power supply which consistently produces the voltage it is set for and runs extremely cool.

I recently had a portable voice recorder fried by a Coby "universal" AC adapter only to discover that it delivered a much higher voltage than I set it for. For light loads, such unregulated universal adapters will deliver more voltage than desired potentially damaging electronics that don't have (enough) over-voltage protection built-in. Upon checking with a meter, I observed an output of ~10V with the voice recorder attached instead of the 3V I set it for.

Even with no load attached, the Velleman compact switching DC adapter produces exactly what it is set for. The next time I have to replace another AC adapter, I will be buying another Velleman compact switching DC power adapter (and will likely even pick up a spare before the need arises ;-).

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely stable power supply, December 17, 2008

By	Lorenzo - See all my reviews

When the power supply of my Linksys wireless access point unexpectedly died I bought this one from Welleman to replace it.
I am extremely satisfied, this power supply is far superior to any OEM supply because it is electronically regulated: the voltage you set is actually the voltage you get (some OEM power supplies have outputs up to 70% higher than the intended voltage).
Also, this power supply does not heat up (again, because it is electronically regulated), and therefore less likely to overheat and fail.
One word of advice, though: I recommend putting some tape over the voltage selector in order to avoid any accidental voltage switching, which can be deadly for the equipment connected to the power supply.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product, October 2, 2008

By	Avinash Srinivas "nexus_alpha" (Kingston Jamaica) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Small compact does not block other sockets on a surge strip unlike other products runs cool. Importantly one of the few adaptor that provides enough amps (1.5 amps) for high powered devices. Using it to run my cambridge soundworks.
