Does anyone know the connector size on the 24v 1.5a power supply? Or what the connector would be named/listed as?

Looking to make or buy a DIY 24v power supply for my other FMM and solenoid. I just can't see spending $30 for a power supply just for a solenoid, seems alittle excessive, considering the solenoid is $30 to begin with.

Thanks

Is it round?
If so its called a "DC barrel jack"..
A quick measurement with a micrometer will tell you the proper size. (assuming you have one already to measure.. well and a micrometer :) )
The go by OD and matching ID (center male pin diameter) so like 5.5mm x 2.1mm (very common 12V size)

Yep I have one original to measure, I'll have to see if my work will let me borrow a mic.

I have two older 24v power supplies but the barrel connector is way to big. The original power supply connector is pretty small.

Going to guess its a 1.7x4mm (EIAJ-2), but you'll have to measure to confirm :)

Just measured the adaptor that came with my ATK. It appears to be 3.8mm OD. It's really hard to accurately measure the inside diameter. The wall thickness appears to be 1.3mm which would make the inside 1.2mm, but don't hold me to that.

Since I have multiple 24v power supplies laying around, I found these, if they fit accordingly, I'll convert mine over, and post updates.
