I bought a 16" tern setups portable monitor (https://ternsetups.com). 

 

The power supply that is provided is a 2 pin socket, with the following inputs and outputs.

 

MODEL: PD30-EU (Shenzhen Jiuzhou Power Technology Co., Ltd)
INPUT: 100-240V~50/60Hz 1.0A
OUTPUT: 5.0V -==3.0A / 9.0V=-- 3.0A / 12.0V = 2.5A / 15.0V -- 2.0A / 20.0V =- 1.5A

 

The specification from the tern setups website states, Pass-through power capability (40W)

 

The manual states - Do not exceed 5V DC input Power.

 

I approached tern setups who said I don't really need the power supply as my Mac will power the monitor, this is true but I would still like the option of a power supply. 

 

I need help in understanding and finding a suitable power adapter with a NZ socket please.

 

Thank you





The little things make the biggest difference.

i think any certified/compliant USB-PD power supply/adapter would work. the different voltages you see as outputs are what it's capable of. USB PD negotiations between the power supply and the device will ultimately bring both to what is suitable.

 

have a look at USB PD Negotiation
