Hi,
I'm looking for some advice about power supplies that I've struggled to find elsewhere (ie. Google/YouTube).
I have a bunch of music gadgets (synths, effect pedals, etc) that all have 'wall wart' power supplies. I decided to research the possibility of making my own 'master' power supply for at least some of my devices, to reduce the clutter.
I'm thinking of buying an AC/DC 12V/20A switch mode power supply such as this:
SHNITPWR 12V Power Supply 20A 240W AC DC Adapter, 110V / 220V AC to DC 12 Volt 20 Amp Switching Power Converter Transformer LED Driver for LED Light Strip 3D Printer CCTV Security System LCD Monitor: AmazonSmile: Electronics & Photo
It has "Three sets of output channels available" (that is, 3 x COM & 3 x +V terminals).
Can I connect more than 3 devices to it? IOW, can I connect 2 or more devices to the same terminals, and if so, does that affect voltage/current in any way?
A more pertinent question might be, is there a recommended way to distribute power to multiple devices from a single SMPS? Some kind of module I could connect to give me, say, 6 channels? This embedded SMPS has something along those lines, but I've no idea what it's called:
RS PRO Embedded Switch Mode Power Supply SMPS, 12V dc, 20A, 240W Enclosed | RS Components (rs-online.com)
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Ben
