Question about power supply AC input.

[Thomas98]

This may be a stupid question.  If a power supply has a AC input from 100v - 240v does that mean the power supply can be used universally?  For example the power supply would be compatible with an american wall socket but also be compatible with a wall socket in the UK.  Please help.  Thanks.

I have seen some older ones with a switch on them for just that use, but that was a long time ago, I don't think I've seen such recently, but I"m not an expert on that

Yep, can be used in the U.S. and the E.U.  Just have to get an adapter for the european plugs.

Yes, exactly that it means.

 

It means that the input voltage can be anything between those two...
