T-Series Power Supplies

#1 Post by T23_Owner » Sat Jul 10, 2004 2:25 am

Will the power supply for a T23 or a A22p work with a T42p?

If am not mistaken, I think all A and T series uses the same AC adapters with 16.0 Volts and 4.5 Amps in spite of FRUs are different among them.
In any device that works through DC current, you will need to meet three characteristics:
-Voltage. Both 16V
-Intensity. Both 4.5Amps
-Stability. Both IBM, so both must be at least within a 15% margen.
I'll say it is totally safe.

X220t IPS but but a bit unhappy with it
T60p 2007-93U 1600x1200 IPS (T42p is an overall better machine though. Lack of new IPS Thinkpads keeps me buying these older models!)
T42p 2373-KXU 1600x1200 IPS (The best ever!!)
A20p 2629-6UU 1400x1050 (My first Thinkpad!)

Yes, they work fine. I use my old T20 power supply on my T42p.
Same voltage and amp rating.

The old T20 brick is about 2cm longer, but that's for the "ears" it has for help winding the cord, the core box is exactly the same shape and size.
