Power Supply Plug
Power Supply Plug
(OP)
I am putting a new 5 pin DIN plug on a switching power supply for a KVM Switch. The label on the power supply provides the following information.
Pin 1: Ground
Pin 2: Common
Pin 3: +5VDC
Pin 4: -5VDC
Pin 5: +12VDC
With my voltmeter I can find the +5VDC, -5VDC and +12VDC voltages. They are on colored wires.
However, both Ground and Common appear to be black wires.
Is there a problem is they get switched when attached to the new 5 pin DIN plug?

This configuration allows PC's to be connected together through RS-422 and other direct connections without risk of damage during start-up conditions.

However, I noticed a capacitor near the power LED that looked like it has been toasted. I guess that I should stop messing with the plug and find a new power supply.
Thanks to all who responded.
