New Power Cable Adapter for Commodore 64 and 64C

This cable adapter allow you to use a standard regulated 5V power adapter and a 9V AC transformer to power on you Commodore 64.

It work with every revisions and models of Commodore 64 on every regions of the world.

Input Requirement:

DC 5V 2A min - 4.0x1.7mm - Positive polarity
AC 9V 1A min - 5.5x2.1/2.5mm or 7 pin DIN (C64 original power supply)

I propose 5V 2A power supply but can be more powerfull (2.5A, 3A, 4A, ...) but it has to be regulated 5V and the plug is the standard 4.0x1.7mm. You can use an original Sony PSP power supply for example. If you want to buy one by yourself from Ebay or Aliexpress, choose a 2.5A or 3A model because most of the 5V 2A power supplies on these site are crap.

Female 7 pin DIN : If you already own a C64 power supply, you can use it for the 9V AC.

Female 5.5x2.1mm : If you don't own a C64 power supply, you can use for example the original Nintendo power supply from :

Nintendo NES (PAL)
Nintendo NES (NTSC)
Nintendo SNES (PAL)

Check if the transformer you use, output AC voltage because DC voltage will not work for the Commodore 64.

If you already use your original Nintendo PSU on your NES, you can replace it with a DC power supply because Nintendo hardware don't really need AC voltage and work perfectly with DC power adapter.

The shipping cost on the top of the page is for the PSU+adapter. For the adapter only the shipping is €3.50 worlwide (except USA).

FAQ

I purchase one on another website but now I have noise that look like snow or wave on the video, can yours resolve this problem?

It is very common for aftermarket charger to add noise on the video signal (RGB, composite or S-video) on old hardware. I experience the same problem when I first start retro gaming. I rigorously tested and selected a good manufacturer to avoid this problem so I can fully guarantee that this one will not alter the video quality.

The original input voltage (110V or 230V) is different from my country main voltage, do I have to use a step down transformer ?

They are the multi-norm (110V and 230V) so you don't need to use a step-down transformer. I would even advise not using it specifically with these because most of the time it will be directly on top of the step-down transformer which generates heat that would make it thinks it's overheating and could trigger its electronic protection. You just need to choose the plug of your country not the plug of the origin's country of the hardware.

The original output voltage (9V, 10V, ...) is different from your output voltage, can it damage my device?

No, you can't damage your device, it has a tolerance in terms of voltage. The original are unregulated, so the voltage indicated on the sticker is not real, it's just an approximation, the real voltage can vary around ±3V depending on the load. Mine are regulated, so the real voltage matches the sticker. After that, this voltage is regulated inside to create a working voltage (5V most of the time).

The current (A or mA) of yours is higher than the original current, can it damage my device?

The current value indicated on it, is the maximum current it can deliver, the console determines what quantity of current it needs. Having slightly more power has no impact and have no risk of damaging the device.

The Seller was very helpful when i accidentally gave him the wrong address; he was accomodating to ammend it. He was also able to explain how the polarity of the power supply worked with the splitter when i was confused. Highly recomend store for switch mode power supplies for retro consoles.
