About Google Home AC Adapter

We talk About the Google Home AC Adapter for the US version of the first Google Home smart speaker below.  Firstly, this adapter has non retracting AC prongs.  Plus, it’s flat ribbon cable is roughly six feet long, and quite flexible.  Further, this household adapter is lightweight for its 33 watt energy output size, and quite small too given the current it can deliver. Finally, it’s a typical cube shape that does not impose because its modest width and height ease fitting into common power strips.

Yet this adapter is quiet and delivers that 33 watts of energy. 

Moreover, this wall adapter delivers I.T.E. levels of voltage regulation. So, this helps support that deep bass and dynamic range for which the first Google Home is known.  Plus, this well-regulated adapter provides very reliable operation.  Thus, with steady power from this adapter, the speaker never crashes. 

This is by no stretch a bargain basement AC adapter. Indeed, this Google Home wall adapter looks very well built and permanently sealed. Further, as noted above, it operates with little if any heating, even when playing the Home at higher speaker volumes. Also, it transmits little  RFI and EMI. Thus, while not easily repaired, you’ll likely never need to do that.  Why?  Because these things just never break down (well, VIRTUALLY NEVER anyhow).  Finally, the affordable cost to replace this adapter makes trying to repair it a costly time waster.   Don’t bother!

Now the DC output jack, the metal barrel part, is small.  That is, it’s roughly 10 mm long, with an outer size of 4 mm. Plus, they set the barrel itself at a right angle to the cable. Why?  Well, this allows proper fitting into the bottom of the speaker, shown below.
