Title: UA5 power jack
Post by: hhf32 on April 06, 2004, 04:09:29 PM

Does anyone know what "size" the jack is for powering the UA5. By size I mean is it any of these below. I have'nt got it yet so I have no way to check and want to order a battery for it.
4.0 x 2.1 mm (O.D. x I.D).
5.5 x 2.5 mm .
4.75 x 1.7 mm.
6.3 x 3.0 mm .
6.5 x 1.4 mm

I saw a 9.6v 4000mah online which is for a portable DVD player and these are the connections that come with it.
                                                                           Thanks for the help.

You have a custom place for power ?
A few folks are using batteries from batteryspace.com (look up older threads) and making a cable from RatShack parts.
They have the connector, just remember that it is positive outside, negative inside, Euro-style.

Just got my Oade UA-5 - now I'm ready to build the battery cable. Here we go.....

Looking at the part I just bought from RatShack

The adapter is listed as:
O.D.: 5.5mm
I.D.: 2.1mm
