120V to 24V adaptor compatibility

[Rod N]

I'm trying to replace the adapter in the picture and I can't find the exact one.

Can anyone please tell me it these specs will work? I know I will have to splice the wires.

The photo shows 24vac output

Isn't that also the specs I pasted?
Sorry, this stuff is not one of my strengths.

No, the power supply you pasted converts AC into DC. You need an AC > AC

Will this work?

 

[American Locomotive]

That should work.

the transformer label in your photo is basically a Door Bell application
Your local Crappy Tire store will have one
for example

it's high on output current , but if it's a regulated power supply it will be ok

Just to be 100% clear the photo you posted says it has a 24-volt AC output and all your words say 24-volt DC.

Please confirm the photo is of the defective power supply.

Note I have repaired a few similar power supplies. I put the in a vise and squeeze them until I hear the glue joint crack turn it 90° and squeeze again and crack another glue joint. The pry open the cracked glue joint with a razer blade. Some where inside is a thermal fuse that has almost certainly gone open. Replace it with one with the same temp and amp rating

Excess current capacity isn't likely to hurt anything, as long as the voltage stays the same. If it's really just a transformer, as long as the current capacity isn't exceeded, it'll be fine.

the squiggly line ~ between 24v and .1a means AC not DC. If instead it was a solid line above a dashed line it would be DC....

Answers to your questions.

Door bell transformer is open and we have toddlers running around (looks like the Amazon one will do the trick though)

The problem with my adapter is the prongs are broken off. I bought a generic one hoping I could transfer the internals, but the broken one had the prongs cast into the plastic and the donor had the prongs part of the transformer.

My mistake thinking it was AC/DC. Now I know what the squiggly line means. lol

Thank you so much for the help.

I am assuming this is some form of electronic door bell. The transformer shown only delivers 100mA (0.1A) at 24VAC. That is much too little current for a mechanical door bell.

This transformer should work for you just attach the old cord the screws and your all set.

I save and use the Wall Warts that come with sprinkler timers.

It's for a mini tree with lights.

A thank you to everyone than helped me with this project.
Happy wife, happy life! (For 10 minutes anyway)

I think if you'd asked about a 24VAC wall wart up front this thread would have been shorter.
