Fixed capitalisation. Capitals matter.

I am getting the impression that most people here have only used prefabbed power supplys and such for their 120v projects. Power supplies are inexpensive in that they cost like $8-$15 each. I want 15 power supplies and it's more practical to make them and learn them because i am using them in the future as well. | |

| May 23, 2020 at 2:19 | comment | added | kennethmods | i am going from AC to DC i figured it is going to be converted after. I'd like to use a buck converter. I am thinking to use a high frequency transformer (for a different question, as i'm not sure exactly how it's going to setup) . I'd like to know if it's possible and which buck converter can be used from 120v to 5v ac, if i go that way. Most of the time i see these hulking transformers and that'd throw my PCB off. @hilman | |
