R.I.H. Effing Adaptors

I agree.

However, the symbol he described is that for DC. A *straight* line above 3 dots.

That symbol does not mean 'rectified AC' to the best of my knowledge. It means 'DC'.

It's a bit late for that now! Why didn't you label each one when you first got it, like all sensible people do?

Actually, there may be other clues. The makers of the devices to be powered often put their name on the power supply. So, for example, if the power supply says 'Nokia', it's probably for a mobile phone!

It's a bit late for such a sensible suggestion too. Why can't the damned makers put the effing labels on?

So I can rest easy knowing there is no site that enumerates the possibilities of these things?

Kind of restores my faith in humanity. Well, it goes a small way toward amelioration.

There is no end to the possibilities, no standardisation, no chance of matching them all, and no chance of salvation.

A minority do have makers labels on, but many will be sourced from wherever, and will see use on various products. Hence not much device labelling.

Perhaps we should sit here and keep repeating ourselves endlessly, until someone looks it up.

Every one I've seen is labelled with its output. You've been told what the markings mean, so what's the problem?

Read the rest of the post, the clue is in the bit you snipped. If you need help to fully understand -though why you should want it is beyond me, you could try reading the post that I was replying to.

HTH.

AIUI:

___ --- Means DC of undefined purity.

^^^ --- Where the carets are actually half-sine waves, means raw rectified AC.
