Two 12V SMPS at BG Mirco

Pano · 4th April 2007, 06:45 PM

BG Micro has some 12V SMPS back in stock.

I've used these DVE supplies, or ones like them, from BG Micro and think they work very well. Price is great. But they don't have many, so get one or two while you can.

They usually send gray power cords with standard North American Edison plugs. You could find a similar cord for your local power, or cut the end off and install your own power plug.

Aren't these just normal power supplies? I don't see anything about SMPS

"100-240Vac input. 12Vdc/2.5A regulated output"

Ratings like these are pretty standard for switching power supplies. While it doesn't specifically state that they are switching power supplies, you can be very sure that they are.

Yeah, what Brian said.

They are SMPS, for sure.

excuse me for doubting your wisdom

Pano · 5th April 2007, 10:01 AM

Not wisdom, Robert. Just experience.

Nice find Michael. Those are good prices. The one I picked up locally, 12V 5A, was $20.

Yep, I love BG Micro! Prices are always great, service is too.

Just got an email this morning that they refunded me $4 shipping on my latest order because it all fit in a flat rate box. See why I love these guys?

does the ferrite on the 2.5 amp have any preferential or detrimental effect for this use
Thanks

I'm kind of a newb to the DIY scene. Will the 2.5A PSU work with a Sonic impact T-amp? I noticed that the stock amperage on the a PSU that sonic impact sells is 2.0A. Will 2.5A be too much?
