Great Universal Adapter
I bought this two weeks ago and it did the job. It has so many different adapters and voltage settings and fitted my device perfectly and now it’s working. It’s a great wee adapter to have in the event any of your plugs stop working like mines did.

Replaced a broken charger
It’s now charged up my son’s battery quad bike as the old charger had broken. I thought that I’d never find a replacement- but this has made both me and my boy happy.

Hi Pete, thank you for your enquiry.
Looking online the radio requires an "external DC power input socket requiring a 6.0V DC power supply rated at 300 mA with a center-negative polarity", which this adaptor is entirely capable of providing.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Ste, thank you for your enquiry.
As previously advised, our technical information for the MVA1200 (our model code for this adaptor) has:-
Cable length:- 1.75m.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hello there,
Masterplug Voltage Adapter:
Yes, the centre polarity can be set to centre positive, and the 4.5V setting can output up to 1.2A, so it matches the 4.5V 1A part of your device's requirement.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi BlueBlade, thank you for your enquiry.
The 4.5V setting will output upto 1.2A and the tip can be attached for either Centre + or Centre - as reqiured.
The transformer is only designed for an input of 220-254V AC though (not switch mode to 100-125V).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Luceco, thanks for replying but this doesnt answer what I asked. No worries, Ive since sourced a Linear 9v power supply elsewhere.
Hi CPR, thank you for your enquiry.
As previously advised, this transformer takes UK/European standard mains voltage (220-250V AC) whereas switch-mode supplies are designed to also work on US/Japanese supply voltages of 100-125V (which this one isn't).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Dimbus, thank you for your enquiry.
As previously advised, our current generation of MVA1200 (our code for this adaptor) has a cable length of:-
1.75m
The tip sizes are (from smallest to jack-plug):-
2.35 x 0.75mm;
3.5 x 1.35mm;
4.0 x 1.7mm;
5.0 x 1.5mm;
5.5 x 2.1mm;
5.5 x 2.5mm;
and a 3.5mm jack plug.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Kenny, thank you for your enquiry.
Without knowing the power requirements of your tyre compressor all we can advise is that the voltage adaptor voltage and current outputs are 3V, 4.5V, 5V = 1200 mA (max load of device to be powered) 6V, 9V = 1000 mA (max load of device to be powered) 12V = 900 mA (max load of device to be powered.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hello there,
Yes, this Masterplug Voltage Adapter has a 12V output setting, but it is completely unsuitable and dangerous to use for a notebook laptop.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi CC, thank you for your enquiry.
This transformer takes UK/European mains voltage (220-250V AC) and converts it down to 12, 9, 6, 5, 4.5 or 3V DC with varying currents from 900mA to 1.2A.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Dan, thank you for your enquiry.
The internet suggests this radio requires 2A, so as the voltage adaptor voltage and current outputs are 3V, 4.5V, 5V = 1200 mA (max load of device to be powered) 6V, 9V = 1000 mA (max load of device to be powered) 12V = 900 mA (max load of device to be powered) the radio will _not_ be a suitable load device for it.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hello Vinner,
The Masterplug Voltage Adapter is rated for a maximum current of 1.2 amps, so it is not suitable for a device requiring a 2.1-amp connection.
Thanks for using Q&A
