Product Features
Product Overview
The Citizen 35AD2-U AC adapter is a dedicated power supply designed specifically for the Citizen CT-S310 line thermal printer. This adapter ensures your printer receives stable, consistent power by converting standard AC wall voltage to the precise 24V DC required for optimal operation.
Engineered with global compatibility in mind, it accepts both 110V and 220V AC input, making it suitable for use in North America, Europe, and other regions without needing a separate voltage converter. The adapter's 2A maximum output current provides sufficient power for both printer operation and charging functions, supporting continuous thermal printing tasks in retail, hospitality, or logistics environments.
Technical Overview
This AC adapter operates with a dual-frequency range of 50Hz and 60Hz, aligning with international electrical standards. The 24V DC output is regulated to maintain voltage stability under load, which is critical for thermal print heads to produce clear, consistent receipts and labels without power-related artifacts.
The adapter's design prioritizes efficiency and reliability, with components selected to minimize energy loss and heat generation during extended use. While specific efficiency ratings aren't provided, the adapter's construction focuses on delivering clean power conversion with minimal electrical noise that could interfere with printer electronics.

FAQ
What printers is this Citizen AC adapter compatible with?
This adapter is specifically designed for the Citizen CT-S310 line thermal printer. It provides the exact 24V DC output required by this printer model. Using it with other devices is not recommended unless they share identical voltage and current requirements, as mismatched power supplies can damage equipment.
Can I use this adapter in different countries with varying electrical standards?
Yes, the adapter accepts both 110V and 220V AC input, covering most international voltage standards. It also supports 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies, making it compatible with electrical systems in North America, Europe, Asia, and other regions. No manual voltage switching is required—the adapter automatically handles the input range.
What output does this AC adapter provide for my printer?
The adapter delivers 24 volts DC at a maximum current of 2 amps. This output matches the Citizen CT-S310 printer's power requirements, ensuring proper operation of the thermal print head, paper feed mechanism, and internal electronics. The regulated DC output maintains voltage stability during printing tasks.
How does the 2A current rating benefit my printer's performance?
The 2A maximum output current provides sufficient power for all printer functions simultaneously, including heating the thermal print head, advancing paper, and processing data. This adequate current capacity prevents voltage drops during high-demand printing, ensuring consistent print quality and preventing errors that can occur with underpowered adapters.
Is this adapter efficient for continuous business use?
While specific efficiency percentages aren't provided, the adapter is designed with power efficiency in mind to minimize energy waste as heat. Its components are selected for reliable operation during extended printing sessions common in retail, hospitality, and logistics environments, helping reduce operating costs compared to less efficient power supplies.
What should I consider when deploying this adapter in my business?
Ensure your electrical outlet provides either 110V or 220V AC within the supported range. Verify the printer model is specifically the Citizen CT-S310, as using it with incompatible devices risks damage. For installations with multiple printers, each requires its own adapter. The lightweight design simplifies placement near printers without needing special mounting hardware.
