What power connector is this video display use? (LiquidVideo LVM701)
I was given this because it was going to be thrown out and it appears it has never been used. However, I can’t use it in a car since it’s from 2003 (unless it’s incredibly old if the connector is nonstandard) and I’m missing everything to it outside of ONE additional RCA in cable that isn’t part of the unit. That said, if I can flip the video or create a upside down stand that’s stable it looks like it may work for a test monitor if I don’t need a full blown TV. My theory is it’s made for a European car (VW, BMW, Benz, etc.) since it’s robust looking but I don’t know much about it because it’s a Circuit City product and I can’t find a archived manual to come up with any clues. However, it could also look European but be universal considering where it came from.
I’m not concerned about the LAMP connectors since I don’t need them and they’re incandescent. I’d rather leave them unplugged to keep the power draw down and sin
Another option I may look into is taking scrap power cord that’s able to handle it and soldering a DC 12V (center positive) jack to the existing wire (and decapitating it) or making it secure but removable. I would consider decapitation considering how much it’s missing (plus it’s basically worthless on the used market) but I’d rather go modular to save the connector (even if I need to remove it; I already marked the polarity just in case).
I don’t know how many amps it needs, but it’s probably on par with most DVD players (~1-3 amps depending on the unit). It also doesn’t matter as long as I use a 12V adapter since it will only draw what’s required.
Here is a photo of the LAMP connector for additional reference. Not using it but it may help ID if it's generic or specific further.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?
