Universal 5V 1A Adapter
This Arkare power adapter accepts AC 100-240V input and delivers up to 5V 1A output, making it suitable for household and office electronics such as security cameras, baby monitors, LED strips and USB hubs. It includes eight interchangeable DC tips covering barrel sizes from 5.5x2.5mm down to 2.5x0.7mm plus Micro-USB, Type-C and a terminal connector. The unit weighs 116 grams and measures 14.33in by 12.83in by 9.06in.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Rated at 5W maximum, the adapter can continuously supply any current up to 1000mA including common draws such as 500mA, 800mA and 900mA without exceeding its thermal limits. Built-in safeguards protect against over-voltage, short-circuit and internal overheating during extended operation. The design is intended for indoor use only and operates between -20°C and 50°C.
Replacement Context
It replaces a lost or damaged 5V barrel-style power supply for devices that draw 1A or less and use centre-positive polarity. The jump is worthwhile when the original charger is unavailable and the device connector matches one of the supplied tips. It will not suit equipment requiring more than 5W or a different output voltage.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the ALT-0501 generate when powering a 5 V 1 A load continuously?
The adapter is rated for a working temperature range of -20 to 50 °C and includes internal overheating protection, so it stays within safe limits during all-day use at its 5 W maximum output.
Which DC plug must my device already have to work with the included tips?
Your device needs a centre-positive barrel jack or one of the supplied connectors: 5.5 × 2.5 mm, 4.0 × 1.7 mm, 3.5 × 1.35 mm, 3.0 × 1.1 mm, 2.5 × 0.7 mm, Micro-USB, USB-C or the terminal connector.
Will the ALT-0501 safely run a legacy 5 V peripheral that only draws 300 mA?
Yes, the 1 A maximum output covers any current below 1000 mA, including 300 mA, and the built-in safeguards protect against over-voltage and short-circuit.
