Good place to buy DC power adapters in the US ?

Calling US members! I need to order a dozen DC power adapters for a US customer: Output of 9VDC @ 1.5A, with a 2.5mm DC Jack on the output. But I live in New Zealand so I have no idea of stores / brands in the US.

Looking for source and brand recommendations.

These will be used in an industrial situation - in a winery.

You want an industrial rated wall wart? That's an oxymoron.

JK Electronics is my local store, they might think the order a bit odd. They can get the cheapo Chinese ones i'm pretty sure, I don't remember the vendor.

If you want something industrial, Acopian is what we put in our test sets, they make some really nice power supplies and are rugged.

doesn't have to be industrial rated, just not go 'poof!' in the first week.

Yeah, the major consideration with "CE" marked PSUs is noise. The last thing you want is to buy power supplies that "hoot" and jam WiFi and phones.

Since you do not need many of them, you may as just well buy from a recognized component distributor. Ex Link2

I suspect that your local shops will stock something similar which might save you a bit on shipping.
