SBIG ST series camera Power Bricks with 12vDC 5 pin DIN connectors

Posted By Frank Dibbell

Hi All,
I have an old ST10XME CCD camera with the standard 110AC to 12vDC power brick that delivers 12vDC to the ST10 via a 5 pin DIN connector.  The only problem with this setup is that I need to get 110AC power in the field, which usually means running a 110 inverter off my 12vDC battery.  Not very efficient.  There must be a way to get these old cameras to run directly off a 12vDC source without having to be converted from 110AC first.

Anyone have any ideas?

thx
Frank
