Is it normal for a PAL SNES power block thing to get pretty hot?

[MikeOutside]

you know the plastic rectangle block between the wall socket and the console? Mine gets pretty hot while playing. Is this normal?

It shouldnt get hot to the touch, I mean warm maybe but really hot, no, it shouldnt.

When l use a voltage transformer it gets hot,

it should be normal, l unplug it when am finish playin...

Yes they all get hot. My NES one has probably been plugged in for a total of about 15 years if not more. It's no biggy so long as it's not lying in kindling :)

Warm yes, varying on the ambient temperature. But if it's so hot that it hurts to touch then you have a problem.

It can get pretty warm but should never get so hot that you can't keep your hand on it.
