Cable Modifications

 

The cable modifications listed on this page were designed specifically for tattoo power supplies. However, you can take these basic concepts and apply them to any of your other power supplies and cutting devices.

Pictured is a very standard electrical diagram which you will need to follow when modifying your Tattoo Power Supply’s electrical components.


It is VERY important that you place the two switches in parallel and not in series. When placed in parallel the electrical current can follow either or path to your device. If placed in series, both switches have to be triggered to allow for an electrical current to pass.

Here is a basic concept of how your equipment will ultimately be placed in the electrical diagram


The following picture may be a little confusing at first, but it follows the same basic concept as this picture.

When it actually comes down to wiring these components, the diagram may make it look harder than it actually is...

Just note that with both the Phone Plugs and the DC connector, the circuit is actually separated by using the middle prong and the outside metal ring. On the back side, you will see a straight connector and a curved, simply indicating the middle prong and the outside metal ring. 

Because our NiChrome wire only needs a current to be passed through it. It really does NOT matter if you accidentally switch the negative return with the positive power supply. It just means the electrical current would travel backwards through the wire, but... that doesn’t matter at all.
