Universal 30W AC/DC adapter for low-voltage devices
This Dell UC05U adapter delivers up to 30 watts across seven selectable DC voltages from 3 V to 12 V at a maximum of 2 A. It accepts global AC input from 100 to 240 V at 50 or 60 Hz. The unit is intended for routers, LED strips, CCTV cameras, set-top boxes, GPS units, USB hubs and similar 3 V to 12 V household electronics.
Compact black housing
The adapter weighs 140 grams and measures 14.33 in wide by 12.83 in high by 9.06 in deep. A fixed 5 in cord terminates in a DC jack that accepts eight interchangeable barrel plugs covering sizes such as 5.5×2.5 mm, 4.8×1.7 mm, 4.0×1.7 mm and 3.0×1.1 mm plus a micro-USB tip and an LED terminal. The plug selector tool locks the output voltage to match the device label exactly.
Limited to centre-positive loads up to 12 V and 2 A
The adapter only supports centre-positive polarity; it will not power centre-negative devices such as some piano keyboards or guitar pedals. Output above 12 V is not available, so 19 V laptops and higher-voltage equipment cannot be used. The selector must be set to the exact voltage printed on the target device; an incorrect setting can damage the connected equipment.

Questions about this item
What AC input range does the UC05U accept and what DC output voltages can it deliver?
The adapter accepts AC 100-240V at 50/60 Hz and provides seven selectable DC outputs: 3V, 4.5V, 5V, 6V, 7.5V, 9V and 12V, up to 2A maximum.
What barrel-plug sizes are included and what centre-hole polarity does the adapter require?
Eight interchangeable tips are supplied, covering 5.5×2.5 mm, 4.8×1.7 mm, 4.0×1.7 mm and 3.0×1.1 mm sizes; the adapter is centre-positive only and will not work with centre-negative devices.
How do you set the voltage correctly and what is the most common mistake?
Use the selector tool to lock the switch exactly on the voltage printed on your device label; the frequent error is choosing an adjacent setting such as 6V for a 5V device, which can cause damage.
