Ac adapter K-AC 167 what to use instead ?

I apologise if this has been asked before but I have gone through most of the posts and can not find the answer. Can someone please let me know what is a suitable AC adapter for the K-1 11 as the AC 167does not seem to exist or be available anywhere.

Where did you search?

Ebay shows 4 from Japan, and B&H says they can get it on special order in 7-14 days (Pentax K-AC167U AC Adapter Kit 38363 B&H Photo Video)

It ain't cheap, though! ~$100

Conventional wisdom is that the K-AC132 specified for the K-1 and K-3/K-3II should work just fine. A quick search shows it to be available on this side of the Atlantic and perhaps it is in stock on yours as well. That being said, many users on this site have been happy using the much-less -expensive 3rd-party HQRP adapter sold on Amazon.

I have this and it works fine. The 1 star rating complains that it will not charge the battery in the owners K3. It is not a battery charger. It supplies power to the camera, but the current Pentax DSLR's do not do in camera battery charging.

Excellent. Thank you all for your help. I think I’ll go for the third party one as well.

Hi

Is the cord from the ac power to the adapter the same as the ac to charger cord ?

As the OP is in the UK, check out Bristol Cameras Pentax K-AC168E AC Mains Adapter Kit - Best Price at Bristol Cameras ... seems it's a "one-fits-all" solution, I bought one from them and use it on all of my "K" DSLR's

Thank you. I did see the 168 but was not sure at the time if it would suffice.

On a whim, I picked up an HQRC for my K-3 just to see what one gets. It came today and I am going to check it out tomorrow. (Definitely cheapish, but for less than $20 USD, shipping included with PRIME, I'm not complaining.
