Hello this is my first post so forgive me if I've posted it under the wrong category.
I'm working on a prototype that controls a 120vac receptacle with a 5vdc PIC16F690 controlling the circuit. The trouble I'm having is finding a transformer that's small, cheap (under $20), and easy to mount. The receptacle and the PIC are all in the same enclosure so using a "wallwart" isn't really feasible.
I came across this on item on ebay...

...but it seems to good to be true.
Has anyone ever used one of these before? How clean is the output signal?
