Help on replacement AC/DC Adaptor

[Richard Shade]

Hi All,
I wondered if anyone can recommend a supplier for a replacement AC/DC adaptor for Inflatable Christmas decorations please?
The top pin has broken and I am unable to find something to replacement so far (if I even can).

its output is 12v 1250mA IP44

I've attached pics below.

I only bought it last year and don't want to waste it!

cheers

Well, I know what I would do.

I suppose as you haven't thought of it, I had better not say anything.

When I have come across similar situations, where the PSU has needed to pass a PA Test (and if you still have the earth pin!), the pin will glue back quite nicely with a bit of epoxy.

Otherwise there are similar PSU available on Amazon, although they seem to be pricey and limited to an Amp:

Given the cost, I would probably do exactly what @EFLImpudence would do!

I remember being in an old-fassioned electrical shop many years ago and the customer in front of us brought in a wall wart with the shutter opening device broken off. The guy behind the counter's soloution was to grab a socket doubler, open the shutters with a screwdriver, plugged the wall wart into it and then use tape to secure the two items together.

Take a 13amp double adaptor, insert the broken off plastic earth pin followed by plugging the adaptor in, then tape the two items permanently together. Alternatively, 12v dc means that pump could be run from a 12v car battery.

Previous instructions work.
I don't know how a 13A plus is IP44 (protected from low velocity spray from every direction).
Ebay is loaded with alternatives but without the bespoke dc connector, such as; https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_...675.m570.l1311&_nkw=12v+power+supply&_sacat=0

Thanks everyone - wasnt sure whether glueing would work properly!
