FOCUS – SmallHD – Specification – Power Output Connection

PROBLEM

I’d like to create my own adapter to use the power output from my FOCUS monitor. What size barrel connector do I need?

SOLUTION

The power output on the FOCUS uses a barrel connector with a 3.5 mm outer dimension and 1.1 mm inner dimension. The center pin is positive. Please note that the power output on the FOCUS is intended for a max of 7.2 volts and 1.5 amps. Drawing too much power from the monitor may trip a “fuse” that will stop all power to the output. This “fuse” is thermally activated and will automatically reset itself after it cools down, which typically takes around a half-hour but depends on the ambient temperature.
