User question

Sony ACDP 085N02

Artificial Intelligence Response

Direct answer to the question

• Sony ACDP-085N02 is an 85 W external AC-DC power adapter used mainly with mid-size Sony BRAVIA TVs and a few Sony monitors.
• Electrical rating: 100-240 V AC (50/60 Hz) → 19.5 V DC @ 4.35 A (centre-positive barrel, Ø 6.5 mm / Ø 4.4 mm with centre pin).
• Typical Sony part numbers: 1-492-734-11, 1-849-478-11, ACDP-085N02.
• Meets DoE Level VI / EU CoC Tier 2 efficiency, includes OVP, OCP, SCP and thermal protection.


Detailed problem analysis

  1. Electrical specification
    • Input: 100–240 V AC, 1.5–1.7 A, 50/60 Hz (universal).
    • Output: 19.5 V DC ±5 %, max 4.35 A (≈ 85 W).
    • Ripple/noise: < 200 mVp-p (20 MHz BW, full load).
    • Protections:
    – OCP trips ≈ 5 A, auto-recover.
    – OVP ≈ 24 V, latch or auto-restart (board-revision dependent).
    – SCP (short-circuit) hiccup-mode.
    – OTP: shuts down ≈ 115 °C case.

  2. Mechanical/interface
    • Enclosure: black polycarbonate, 127 × 50 × 31 mm, convection-cooled.
    • DC plug: coaxial “Sony large-pin” 6.5 mm OD / 4.4 mm ID, 1.4 mm centre pin; polarity centre +.
    • Mains cord: IEC 60320 C7 (figure-8) detachable.

  3. Internal topology (for repairers)
    • Input stage: EMI line filter, bridge rectifier, 120/400 V bulk capacitor (~100 µF), NTC.
    • Primary switch: quasi-resonant fly-back or LLC (later rev.), controller e.g. NCP1250/NCP1397.
    • Secondary: synchronous rectification FET + PI filter.
    • Feedback: TL431/optocoupler; secondary SR controller or discrete gate driver.
    • PCB single-sided FR-4, 5 mm creepage, Y-cap, 4 kV Hi-Pot.

  4. Typical fault symptoms
    • No standby LED on TV → open primary fuse, blown MOSFET, or primary bulk capacitor ESR.
    • Flashing power LED / cycling → OCP/SCP, shorted secondary FET or TV load fault.
    • Audible chirp → hiccup from bad optocoupler / dried 47 µF secondary cap.

  5. Compatible equipment (most common)
    TV sets: KDL-32W705B, KDL-40/42/48W600B, KDL-40R510C, KDL-48R510C, KDL-40W600B, KDL-43WF66x/663, KD-43/48W585B, XR-42X90x etc.
    Monitors: Sony SDM-HX95/HX95B, selected professional displays.
    Always confirm the rating silk-screened at the DC-jack of the device.

  6. Electrical equivalence / cross-reference
    • ACDP-085N03 and ACDP-088E01 share identical output and plug – can substitute.
    • Older APS-243, APS-257 supplies (19.5 V/4.7 A) are electrically compatible but larger.


Current information and trends

• Regulation: Since 2016 Sony ships ACDP-085N02 in Level VI / EU Tier 2 compliant versions (typical efficiency 89 % @ full load, < 0.15 W no-load).
• Market: Growing influx of counterfeit adapters—visual inspection (holographic Sony label, laser-etched UL/CE marks, weight ~365 g) is advisable.
• Future direction: TVs ≤ 100 W are gradually migrating to USB-C PD (20 V profile @ 5 A) to reduce PSU diversity; Sony has begun introducing PD-powered 32-inch monitors in 2023.


Supporting explanations and details

• Why 19.5 V? Historical compatibility with Sony VAIO laptop brick inventory; internal TV DC-DC stages tolerate 18–20 V.
• Connector anatomy: centre post carries Sense/ID signal in some models but is internally tied to +V in ACDP-085 series, allowing backward compatibility.


Ethical and legal aspects

• Counterfeits: Sub-standard materials, missing OVP; pose fire risk—UL, TÜV or IEC 62368-1 certification must be present.
• E-waste: Replace only when genuinely faulty; high-grade components make the unit repairable.
• Liability: Opening sealed adapter voids certification; service technicians must re-test safety (Hi-Pot, leakage) after repair.


Practical guidelines

Replacement / sourcing

  1. Prefer genuine Sony or authorised service-part numbers.
  2. Match output voltage exactly (19.5 V); current rating ≥ 4.35 A.
  3. Verify plug dimensions; adaptors exist in 6.0 × 4.0 mm and 6.5 × 4.4 mm—use calipers.
  4. Check for safety marks: UL-E134194, TÜV-R-50119543, PSE, CCC.

Diagnostics
• Quick test: Multimeter 19.0-20.0 V unloaded; then 4.7 Ω power resistor (~4 A) for load test, expect ≤ 0.5 V drop.
• Thermal scan: Should stabilise < 65 °C case at 25 °C ambient / full load.

Repair hints (qualified personnel)
• Replace bulged electrolytics (primary 100 µF/420 V, secondary 2200 µF/25 V).
• Check optocoupler CTR, SR MOSFET (e.g., AOZ5104).
• Always use equal or better ripple-current caps (≥ 500 mA ESR spec).


Possible disclaimers or additional notes

• Some BRAVIA models use a 90 W ACDP-090E03 with identical plug—safe downward substitution (higher current) but not the reverse.
• When TV firmware detects abnormal rail sag (< 18 V) it may show 5× red LED blink (power protection).


Suggestions for further research

• Investigate USB-C PD retrofit boards delivering 20 V/5 A to replace barrel connectors in older TVs.
• Assess GaN-based replacements for improved efficiency and size.
• Study IEC 62368-1 vs older IEC 60950-1 differences for external PSUs.


Brief summary

ACDP-085N02 is Sony’s 19.5 V / 4.35 A, 85 W Level VI external adapter feeding many 32-48″ BRAVIA TVs. Keep voltage, current, connector and polarity identical when replacing; beware of counterfeits. Basic troubleshooting involves verifying 19.5 V under load and inspecting for cable/connector damage. Genuine parts ensure compliance with safety and efficiency regulations, while emerging trends (USB-C PD, GaN) hint at future, more universal replacements.
