Hi all,
I am probably once again asking for something that is not there, but anyway. I'm currently hacking on several single board computers. Each of them requires 12V. So I would need an AC to DC power adapter for each. Each of adapters will require a separate socket in my master plug. What I would like to have is _one_ AC to DC adapter with multiple outputs to which I then connect my boards. Basically something like a USB hub but for power supply. After much of googling I wasn't able to find something like this. Have I missed something?
Thanks, Arokux

get some parts off of farnell and a soldering iron. one socket, several wires, many plugs.

How about the power? Will those "some parts" be able to support 25W output?
And additional requirement for the all-in-one power adapter showed up. Some board require 5V, not 12. So I need several outputs with 12V and several outputs with 5V.
Thanks Arokux

Have you tried a normal PC power supply; I think there is a way to fudge them to believe a motherboard is connected.

THis would actually be your best/cheapest solution on the interim. You short Pin 14 to GND on the ATX Power Supply Connector. this allows it to power on automatically. If you want to get more sophisticated, you can then wire in a switch, or take some perfboard, order an ATX Female connector, some DIP Molex Board connectors, and wire it up with any number of outputs. It's how I've been powering my MEB, externally SATA HDD, and misc devices.

What about a picopsu?
