Power Supply

[wmnelis]

Does anyone know of any power bricks that are compatible with the Zynthian v5.1? I have one, but would like to order another one. I searched for the one that came with online, but I couldn’t find one for sale.

Thanks.

Have you considered the official zynthian 5.1 PSU from the zynthian shop?

[wmnelis]

Yes. Was trying to avoid the high shipping cost.

You may want to give a clue as to where you are, what type of mains connection, what constraints you have.

Here is an Amazon link, the actual power supply referenced is no longer available, but some alternatives are recommended:

12V or 24V power supply? [SOLVED!]

I think what @DeepBlueMind is asking about is the power input on the Zynthian V5.1. It is a fairly common “barrel” connector used on many guitar pedals. I believe it is 5.5x2.5mm but I’m not sure about that. This power supply did work and fit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BDV15WYY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and i did not need to use the adapter that came with it. [image]

Zynthian will accept input voltage from 9 to 48V. You’d want at least 25 Watts (in order to get 5V at 5 Amps out), something like 9v at 3 Amps or 24V at 1.5Amps, which I think is the ‘official’ Zynthian supply will do the trick.

Good point. I’m in the US.

Thanks for the link. I’ll check it out.

Extra tip:

The connector that is common in my part of the world (5.5x2.1mm) does not fit.

These are the verified dimensions of the mating plug to the Zynthian V5 and V5.1 power inlet:

I’m simply using a left over power supply from an old ThinkPad Laptop I had laying around, plus an adapter for the correct plug.
