Some barrel connectors on wall warts have the PLUS value on the outside,
and the MINUS on the hole.

I've seen some shown with MINUS on the outside and PLUS on the hole.

I can't remember if there is any STANDARD Polarity setting for the pin-out
or not on those things.

I might be wrong - been there sometimes.

But just a thought that came to me when I saw Your message about this.

Also, 1.5 A is just about 2% more Current than 1.25 A.
A 12V wall-wart that has a Larger Current output can be used too.

As far as the different connector on the two Mauser sells, they probably
also sell pieces to convert from one kind of connector to another.

JamesCo is another Mail Order Company that You could look at their web pages
to see what is available.

Radio Shack stores are gone, but is there a Amateur Radio or CB store near
You?

Or even a Electrical Parts Wholeseller?

One of them may have what You need, or be able to put the correct connector
on the wire for You.

Good Luck.
