Here are the features and specs:
The Micronta Catalog Number 22-126 is a vintage, solid-state variable DC power supply produced for Radio Shack (Tandy Corporation). It is designed to provide a regulated and filtered source of direct current (DC) voltage for testing and powering small electronics on a workbench. [1]
Specifications
• Input Power: 120-volt AC, 60 Hz [1]
• DC Output Voltage: Continuously adjustable from 0 to 24 volts [1]
• Voltage Range Switch: Pushbutton selector for dual tracking ranges (depressed for 12–24V, released/outward for 0–12V) [1]
• Maximum Output Current: 1 Ampere (1 A) [1]
• Circuitry: All-silicon transistor design for stability and long life [1]
Features
• Continuously Adjustable Voltage: Front panel rotary control knob (VOLTAGE ADJUST) to tune the output smoothly. [1]
• Built-in Overload Protection: Features a mechanical reset button on the unit to protect against short circuits and overloads instead of blowing standard fuses. [1]
• Integrated Meter: Includes a front panel analog meter (VOLT / AMP METER) with a selector/range functionality to monitor output parameters. [1]
• Output Terminals: Standard front-panel binding posts (Black for negative/–, Red for positive/+). [1]
• Power Switch & Indicator: Slide or toggle power switch with an on/off indicator. [1]
Uses
• Eliminates the need for batteries when servicing portable transistor radios, cassette/tape players, and mobile 12V/CB radio equipment.
• Provides a clean benchtop DC source for general electronics experimentation and hobbyist logic circuits.
