Smallest AC to 5V 5A DC PSU

gub11
gub11 over 10 years ago

I'm looking for a very small AC to 5V 5A DC PSU, and thought that element 14 would have one, but have yet to find the right one, maybe i'm looking wrong.

It needs to be small enough to fit in a junction box that a light switch would normally be in.  It can be one that's "processed" is what I would call it, like for a laptop, just has to output the right voltage and amperage.

Thanks

    Hi Gabriel,

    If I was looking for a compact 5A 5 volt supply I would check out a power supply for a computer. You will get some extra voltages as part of the deal but you will not need to use them. In addition many of these supplies have a sense line so your 5 volts at load will be regulated. Some of the power supplies for smaller desk top computers are quite compact and include good cooling technology.
