Power Supply: AC Mains to Low Voltage DC

by Eric.

2 layer board of 1.63x2.30 inches (41.43x58.34 mm).

Cost: $18.70 for three.

Description:

I needed a low voltage, low current DC power supply for a mains-powered project but I was out of spare wall warts, so I whipped this together and it does the job nicely.

Holes along the edges of the board are sized for M3 x 4mm standoffs and M3 or #4-40 hardware.

The transformer footprint will accept the Triad Magnetics F16-070-C2-B (max 70mA) or F16-150-C2-B (max 150mA). I used the latter. The transformer’s secondary windings are wired in series.

The bridge rectifier footprint will accept any 4-SIP package with 0.2-inch pin spacing and max 0.050-inch pin diameter. I used a GBU-package device that I had on hand.

The TO-220 footprint will accept any of the 78XX series of fixed output linear regulators. I have tested with the ON Semiconductor NCP7812TG and measured ~40mV peak-to-peak output ripple with 100mA load. The regulator settles at ~48°C under this load with no heatsink.

The large electrolytic capacitors are 10mm diameter with 5mm pin spacing. I used two Kemet ESK108M025AH4AA 1000uF 25V caps. The small electrolytic is 5mm diameter with 2mm pin spacing. I used a Kemet ESK107M016AC3AA 100uF 16V cap.

To simplify and save cost, the board has exposed copper pads for AC input and DC output connections instead of screw terminals. Apply a little flux and wires will solder on with ease.

CAUTION: This is a mains-powered circuit. Use appropriate care with exposed high voltage and please install a properly rated fuse inline with the hot AC supply line.

This will solder directly to the SparkFun Electric Imp breakout https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11400 and adds RS232 Serial voltage levels to the Imp. Power and serial are all through an RJ12 6 pin connector. 1-GND, 2-+5V, 3-Tx232, 4-Rx232. Uses Uart57 on Imp. Chip is Max3232 http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/MAX3232CSE%2B/MAX3232CSE%2B-ND/947902 and all will fit very nicely inside this enclosure…. http://www.pactecenclosures.com/product-detail.php?productid=1393&seriesid=82&classid=25
