Max. Voltage off PICO pwr adapter?

Post by edrive »

What is the max. input voltage of the PICO ATX power adapter?

On the texelec site it states:
"Input Voltage Range:11.4VDC—12.6VDC"

But would it get fried, from a simple wallplug type rated at 12V (from the type of transformer, bridge rectifier, capacitor), with a no-load voltage of say 15V?
As a ham radio op I own a bunch of regulated power supplies with 13,8V, so I can't use these?

Maybe someone knows a datasheet that meets exactly the type that came with the cx16.

I'm thinking of changing the original pico ATX power adapter, that came with the cx16, to a different model, which can take more than 12V as input.
When looking at the usual china shops there are tons of very similar pico ATX adapters, some have a much higher rated input voltage. Some are extra specified for use in a car.
