Duratrax: Compact Switching Power Supply

Model Airplane News, Jun 2002

An AG-to-OG power supply is a must-have for any serious electrics enthusiast, but they are often too big and bulky to be conveniently transported, DuraTrax has solved that problem with its Compact Switching Power Supply. It is designed with an eye toward simplicity and convenience; the switching circuitry is housed inside the compact wall plug, along with a cooling fan. A removable 4-foot cord is connected to the terminal block adapter The terminals are perfectly shaped to allow quick attachment of alligator clips of various sizes, and the mounting block ensures that they never accidentally touch and cause a short. Pads attached to the pc board on the bottom of the block enable you to solder wires directly to it. The units output is rated at 7 amps of 12V DC current-enough to handle most charging tasks; $62.99.
