IBM PC110 charger pinout & rating?

#1 Post by H-Atkinson » Fri Oct 22, 2021 2:06 am

Hello,

I've recently been able to obtain a PC110 that works just fine off of battery (and have a JVC charger for said batteries), but have been unable to test my port replicator since I don't have a charger. I cannot seem to find any chargers (genuine or otherwise) for sale, so I'm going to either make one, or adapt my bench PSU to do the job (temporarily). I know its a 10v charger, but can someone tell me if its center positive or center negative, and what the wattage/current rating of the OEM power adapter was? I cannot find this in the manual or HMM.

Thanks!

Greetings fellow PC110 Owner!

The OEM Adapter outputs 10.5 volts, 1.3 amps. The tip/center is POSITIVE.

Hope this helps!

Thanks so much! It should be fairly easy to make a replacement then. Sorry to bother further, but do you know what the outer diameter of the charger barrel is? I can't get my calipers into the port on mine, and I figured it may be easier to measure the tip of the actual charger for someone who actually has one. Thanks again!

I'll round up my digital caliper tomorrow and measure the outer part of the barrel.
