Where to get a 60C replacement power supply

Hi Guys

 

Does anybody know where I can purchase a replacement power supply from? Or a "name" for the type of power supply?

 

Preferably looking for a UK supplier, but happy to purchase from elsewhere as long as they can ship to the UK.

 

Thanks

    ...resurrecting an ancient thread here...but it was useful to me as a starting point. 

     

    I've been looking for a replacement PSU and discovered these are difficult to find (often out of stock), and expensive.

     

    Regarding kelv1n's post above - the connector on the unit requires a Molex 2 row Mini-Fit Jr connector. However, as SecureLayers-Eric pointed out, if you simply buy the female connector, you'd need a tool to put the wires into the plastic connector...which is indeed a pain.

     

    My solution was to buy a Molex connector assembly (i.e. a 1 meter pigtail with the connector & wires already inserted, with  an insulating jacket)...I got mine from Mouser Electronics, "Molex 245135-0210" - some solder, heat shrink, and an old power supply with the proper specs...I spent under $10 rather than an insane $55 for a unit on eBay.

    Really, ebay is properly the best choice for a 50-60C models. In fact you can use just about any 12-13volt center pin "pos" for these devices.

     

    I'm using another vendor powersupply on my fortianalyzer and I bought back in the mid 2000s a stack of AC/DC power supplies that I've used on fortigates, SRXs , Sonicwall and even my ham radio QRP gear.

    A center-pin power supply won't fit. 

     

    Its got an odd adapter, similar to the 60D's, not sure how to describe it, its rectangular with 2 male pins -

    You can order the replacement power supply from any Fortinet reseller/distributor.

     

    The SKU for the power adapter is below:

     

    SP-FG60C-PDCPower Adaptor for FG/FWF-40C and FG/FWF-60C, FG/FWF-60D and FG/FWF-90D. Does not include power cord, please order separately if required.

    Just wanted to confirm what other folks were saying. Note that this Adapter uses the C6 inlet, so it's not your 'standard' power cord which is a C14. The power cord you can most likely find on any electronics retailer, and the adapter probably places that sell networking equipment (unsure if CDW, etc supply to the UK).

     

    Adapter:

    SKU: SP-FG60C-PDC 

    Description: AC power adaptor for FG/FWF-40C, FG/FWF-60C, FG/FWF-60D/-POE, FG-70D, FG/FWF-90D/-POE

     

    Power Cord:

    SKU: SP-FG60CPCOR-UK

    Description: Power cord, C6 inlet, UK for FG/FWF-40C, FG/FWF-60C, FG/FWF-60D, FG-70D, FG-80D & FG/FWF-90D

    the name for the connector is a 2pin Molex connector. The issue is however you would need a special tool to connect the pins to the wire. Replacement power supply is much easier. :)
