Hello Everyone!
I am working on a project that involves creating a power supply unit. This PSU needs to output 2A at between 4 - 5.5 volts (only one voltage within this range, not a variable supply). The input for the PSU is New Zealand mains supply; that is, 230V AC at 50Hz.
I am currently trying to select the transformer to use. I have chosen this one here:
http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=237-1045-ND
Would this meet my requirements? Is the manufacturer reputable? I have done as much research as I can, and it seems to be right, but I want someone knowledgeable to check my choice. This is the first time I've ever used a transformer or played with mains AC, and quite simply I'm terrified of choosing the wrong transformer.
Plus, shipping from USA to New Zealand isn't going to be cheap - I don't want to have to reorder.
Thanks,
