How to Check Compatibility
Before ordering the FSP420-ACAU3, check the following:
-
Output voltage: Your device must require a compatible 20V DC power supply.
-
Current and power requirements: Confirm that the device's specified current and power requirements are supported by the adapter.
-
Connector size: Verify that your device accepts a 5.5mm × 2.5mm barrel connector.
-
Connector polarity: Check the positive and negative polarity shown on the original adapter or device label.
-
Power requirements under load: Confirm that the device is designed for a power supply rated at 420W and does not require a different electrical specification.
-
AC power cable: Check that the supplied regional plug is suitable for your location and wall outlet.
Important: A matching connector does not guarantee compatibility. Do not connect the adapter unless the voltage, polarity, connector, and device power requirements have been verified.
