PS150/CH150 12V Charging Regulators

A105 Additional 12 V Terminals Adapter

The A105 adapter adds four 12 V terminals and four ground terminals to a
PS150/CH150 charging regulator. The extra terminals make it easier to wire
multiple continuously powered 12 VDC devices to the power supply.

The A105 shares the same form factor as the A100. Refer to

Section 7

A100 Null

Modem Adapter

for information on how to attach the A105 to the PS150.
