HE-104 AC p/s

Started by kevincw01 January 24, 2006
Hi, I'm building a pc/104 PC as a side project for fun.  I purchased a
pc/104 board as well as the he-104 12v vehicle power supply
(http://engineering.tri-m.com/products/power/he104.htm).  The system
will enventually reside in a car with 12v power but during development
I need to provide the 12v DC to the he-104 in my house.  I'm thinking I
can just go pick up a 12v AC adapter from radio shack and cut the
connector off but I can't figure out how many amps the adapter needs.
I went through both PDFs on the he-104 site and didnt find anything
relating to the input amp requirements.  They constantly repeat that it
will accepts 6-40VDC input, but thats it.

Thanks for the help.

You can:

A. Send me the board plus $50 and return postage.
B. Pick up a multi-meter at Radio Shack and measure it.

for my PC104 dev systems, I use an old PC AT power supply...
