Hi,
I'm in a quest to avoid mainsinto my preamp and dac chassis. I just thought I might buy a custom wound toroidal for 24V AC primary.
The power would come from a AC-AC wall wart, like this or this so, for instance, windings would be primary 0-24V, secondary 2* 0-9V and 2* 0-18V
First of all, is it even doable? I've never seen this mentioned as an option, and I've read several threads in this forum.
Thank you

Why not put a standar torroid in a case and have an ambilical cable.
Problem solve (no mains pixies in your magic box) and less cost involved.

The first one you linked is DC, not AC - so it won't work.
I don't know what you're wanting to build, but 1000mA @ 24VAC isn't a lot of power. A stereo amp of 5WPC maybe?

A separate DC supply chassis with 120VAC input is better. Run DC lines to audio chassis, with local regulators and decoupling.
But if you want no touchable 120VAC inside any chassis, a properly sized AC/AC wall wart will work.

it’s AC following the datasheet, but you’re right the title is misleading
i want this for a preamp or a DAC, not a power amp
sorry i do not want to touch mains, so no separate chassis with the power transformer to a DC umbilical.
The picture shows DC on the output. Dots under a solid line... Not to mention it's switching, not linear.
Maybe there are more than one type for sale in the listing.
In any case, if you don't want to "touch the mains" I suggest you use an off the shelf SMPS and make your design work with 12VDC

ok thank you. please imagine I can buy a AC/AC wall wart, they existist and provide around 15-20W, the question is about the toroidal
thanks for caring anyway! 😉
