Does it look like this?
It appears to put out 24 volts at .45 amps giving under 12 watts. A very low power high voltage DC. Someone like mcb1 might know a good usage.
Cheers,

Most wall warts are 5V with 500 mA to 2.0 A. Your transformer would need a DC to DC converter which costs more than the previous wall warts.BTW, where did you get/buy this?

Apart from one Arduino board I know of, all others are 12v max input.
This supply is 24v and I doubt the adjustment allows it down to 12v.

You'd need a regulator on the output ....BUT more importantly.
This model is designed to be inside an enclosure as the mains connections are accessible.

Personally I'd go fnd myself a 5v/9v or even 12v plug pack to SAFELY play with your arduino.

Also for the future the Ben heck area isn't the only one on this website, there is arduino, power and a whole range.
Unless clem had tagged me I wouldn;t have found the post and been able to advise you.

The output is only 0.45A which is less than many other power packs that are already safe to use.
