Refurbished Ktec AC adapter (KSASO241200150HE)
A refurbished Ktec KSAS0241200150 AC/DC adapter providing 12 V DC at 1.5 A (≈ 18 W). Designed as a replacement power supply for devices like Seagate or Western Digital external hard drives (e.g. MyBook / Expansion series). Accepts universal AC input (100‑240V), uses a barrel connector, and delivers stable power with safety certifications. A cost‑effective alternative to a new unit, though condition may vary.
1 | Model / Part Number Variants | Known as KSAS0241200150, and variants like KSASO241200150HE, KSAS0241200150HU, KSAS0241200150M2 etc. |
2 | Output Voltage | 12 V DC |
3 | Output Current | 1.5 A |
4 | Output Power | ~18 Watts (12 V × 1.5 A) |
5 | Input Voltage Range | 100‑240 V AC, 50‑60 Hz |
6 | Plug / Connector Type | Barrel jack (usually 5.5 mm outer × 2.1 mm inner) with fixed US‑style 2‑prong plug common in “wall wart”‑style adapters |
7 | Certifications / Safety | Multiple regulatory approvals reported (UL Listed, CE, etc.) |
8 | Use Case / Compatibility | Primarily for external hard drives (Seagate, WD MyBook, Expansion series) that use 12 V/1.5 A power adapters; can also suit other low‑power devices needing similar specs |
9 | Condition (“Refurbished”) Implications | Likely reconditioned; may have cosmetic wear; internal components checked or replaced; possibly lower warranty period; performance reliability depends on refurbishment quality |
10 | Efficiency & Regulation | Expected to regulate voltage fairly steadily under rated load; voltage and current stability important for hard drive operation to avoid data loss; refurbished unit may show more variance than new OEM unit |
11 | Protections | Likely includes basic protections like over‑current, over‑voltage, short‑circuit; exact protection features depend on manufacturer/refurbisher’s implementation |
12 | Thermal / Heat Handling | When under load it may warm up; ventilation and ambient temperature affect longevity; good practice to avoid stacking or covering adapter to reduce heat accumulation |
13 | Physical / Mechanical Details | Usually compact wall converter (“wall wart”) with length of cable; barrel connector; rated for indoor use; casing often black plastic; weight modest (adapter + cord) |
14 | Limitations | Should not be used for devices needing more current; mismatch in connector size, polarity or undervoltage can damage device; refurbished nature means less assurance than a brand new or OEM‑boxed adapter |
15 | Value Proposition | Offers savings over a new OEM unit; suitable for backup/secondary use; good for replacing dead adapters at lower cost; if refurbished well, can deliver most of what original did at reduced price |
