They also flog the adapter set separately. Can't say that anything at
Radio Shack is a good price - look elsewhere. In some places,
individual parts from the 'set' of connectors are available. You need
a wall wart with the two-pin terminal fitting, to use them. Buy one of
these just once. No doubt they are available elsewhere.

It was you who bought the component that now needs replacing - get
better advice next time.
