How to power IC-25a/h with IC-PS15?

Has anyone powered an IC-25H with a PS15? Seems that a simple power cable set could be built. Also, where do you find the connectors?

Thanks. Tom, KE0QL.

 

One issue with the IC-25H is the memory supply. It needs a constant voltage on it to retain the memory, and I believe there is a separate connection for this. Also, of course, it lacks PL.

I think that one's a standard Molex connector: http://www.molex.com/molex/products/group?key=power_connectors&channel=PRODUCTS&langPref=english&selectedKey=2

You may have to check the pin spacing to make sure you order the correct one.

 

There is no on/off switch on a PS15. It was designed to be turned on/off by a few of the Icom rigs of it's day.
Not hard to wire one in if you know where to wire it to. I have done it but I don't remember how it was done any longer.
You might find the modification on the web if you search.
It (the rig) also has a jack on the back to supply 9-12 Vdc for the memory backup as was mentioned.
Been a while since I had one of those rigs!

Mike, K7MH is correct, the Icom PS15 has NO Power Switch -- it is remotely switched by the radio attached to it.

To use this supply with other radios, you need to jumper (or install your own remote switch) 2 pins on the Icom PS-15 DC power connector.
Consult the PS-15 schematic or standard wiring used with this 6-pin DC connector.
Manual can be downloaded from Icom Global Support web page (Search by model name: PS15)
