GET THE NEW PSU AS YOUR ATARI 520ST, 520ST+ OR 260ST (YES, IT EXISTS!) IS SURELY WORTH IT.

The Atari 520ST (and 260ST) computers were originally equipped with external, big and heavy switching mode PSU. The original PSU was offering 5VDC@3A, 12VDC@0.03A & -12VDC@0.03A. All of these PSUs have same problem nowadays: all are nearly 40 years old and not longer reliable because of capacitors degradation. Old power supply, if still working, can ba a source of killing over voltage spikes that will burn your chips due to the electrolytic capacitors "dry outs" and component's ageing. It's happening especially if PSU is working overloaded.

If your PSU is gone, not longer working, or you are not sure about it's condition - it's time to get a solid, superior quality replacement. It's 50W (55W peak) of total combined output power: far more than two times stronger than original Atari 520ST (260ST) PSU and it's two times smaller in dimensions and weight (0.4KG) to save your desk's space.

I believe your Atari ST is using many enchantments nowadays as fans and users are creating wonderful hardware stuff like FDD emulators (using SD Card), HDD drives with CF card, video output enhancers, VGA/HDMI RasPi adapters, WiFi serial modems, memory upgrades, accelerators etc... all to enjoy.  But remember that all of these gadgets are stressing the PSU and original one become even more dangerous when working overloaded.

Please notice that most of cheap PSU replacements for Atari 520ST (260ST) computers are usually missing the -12VDC voltage (used for RS-232-C serial port operations) basing on the fact that most users is never using this port, so will never notice. Some of other popular replacements are stuffed with overrated gadgets but are missing the main On/Off switch - just to make te construction cheaper! Our philosophy is opposite: reliable PSU replacement needs to supply all three voltages (as per original specification) but offering more power on each line. The reliable, mechanical ON/OFF rocker switch is a must for computer health, overall safety and true energy saving when powered off (instead of pseudo stand-by modes).

The ventilation holes should be protected from foreign objects or dripping liquids. Please do not install power supplies in places with high ambient temperature or close to the heat source. Enclosed power supplies are intent to work in indoor locations, it's not allowed to use power supplies outdoor, in dust or high moisture. Output current and output wattage must not exceed the rated values.

This replacement Atari ST PSU has been designed for Atari 520ST and 260ST vintage computer systems only and should be considered as an component of Atari ST computer system. Do not connect to any other devices as it's not a general purpose PSU. Manufacturer is not responsible for any consequences of unauthorized or arbitrary repairs, modifications or incorrect usage. Please notice that new, properly working replacement Atari ST PSU is reducing the system's potential fail rate but still is not guaranteeing that entire Atari ST system will work correctly (it's ~40 years old).
