24V to 12V AC step down converter??

[Streyeder]

Does anyone know where I can obtain a small device that will convert 24V AC to 12V AC? The smaller the better! I appreciate any help at all, google's not yeilding much thus far.

Are you sure we aren't talking about DC?

Can you tell us what the device is?

No, this is AC. I'm working on a way to run 24 V out of an air conditioner and into a wireless switch that takes 12 V. The magnetic switch is used to shut off the AC when a sliding door is opened. Unfortunatly, the control part is not battery powered so I've been sent out to find a solution. I figured this would be a great place to ask since God knows the things modders and engineers here have come across to accomplish random quirky tasks.



Device w/ papers:

Wouldn't you just be able to do that with a transformer?

I've been looking into that as well, still not finding something. Anyone got a direction to point at? Thanks for the help thus far.


Ok, so I've been told this now:

Either:

24V AC --> 12 V AC

OR

240 V AC --> 12 V AC

NOT

120 V AC --> 12 V AC

Cant you use a wireless phone plug?

Problem solved. Found they make and don't advertise a "universal" version that takes 12-30 VAC. Thanks for the help anyway guys!
