How to build a $20 47A power supply

[kazuaki]

Thanks for the info. I've got mine up and running.

I soldered on some power leads and made a jumper from servo leads to short out pins 6, 8, and 10. This jumper stays in place all the time.




The reason I can leave the jumper in place is because I added a power switch to the input side.



So far, it seems to work well...

Any pics on how you did that?

I received my three PSU's today. All three work flawlessly. :)

How do you shut down the PSU, just by pulling out the power cable? The fan makes a noice that is freaky loud ... definately need a solution for that. The PSU itself is also WAY smaller than I expected, even when I knew the dimensions...

Will post a pic tomorrow, going to solder some leads and stuff now. Thanks for the tip, this saved me a nice buck.
