Today I tested a 12V 5A 60W switching power supply that cost me only $3 including shipping from China. The listing says it's for LED strips, CCTV and LCD monitors. The actual current capability is only 3.5A and some parts are underrated. The PCB board definitely seems repurposed. It looks bodged, but I have seen much worse SMPS designs :). This one has a proper fuse, EMI filters, very good isolation distance on the PCB and safe X2, Y1 capacitors. I managed to reverse engineer a full schematic of it. I also explain in detail how does this switching power supply work. One of the viewers helped me to identify the control chip as XN1049 (thanks!).

Sir, I can only say that your wire stripping skills with those pliers are equally amazing & impressive. Extra points for the dodgyness of using the wire cutter of regular pliers for stripping.

If they didn't overrate it and advertise that it is repurposed on the eBay page then it might not be so bad. Also props to you for making such a huge schematic. It is probably from a laptop power adapter or something, at least you can tell the original manufacturer made good quality power supply.

2 years later your video is still a source of knowledge. Just need to figure out how my power supply varies and what controls the voltage. The PSU is putting out 20v for an item with an 18v max input. Need to figure out what to change to drop that, without resorting to an external dropper, but it needs to handle 5 amps. Far more components that your power supply, shame about the output voltage. Thanks.

thank you sir for explaining how a flyback topology works! this explains why a power supply (like a monitor inverter board) will pulse on and off if there is not enough capacitance on the output (because of dry dead capacitors). after the mosfet first turns on the transformer is pretty saturated, when it is off the voltage on the secondary goes through the diode to the output and only has a small current flow (no capacitors to take in the current). at this point the core is still mostly saturated and when the mosfet turns back on the inductance is really low and the chip sees the high current and shuts down.

Nice schematic and explanation. Here is a useful trick. I use switching supplies like this in my PV solar system that has a 50V dc BUSS. Many of these work down to voltages below that at very reduced current which is fine for an isolated high side FET driver. The 3 resistors to pin 5 can be reduced if the supply flashes or has trouble at lower voltages.

1) As for voltage drops under significant currents I advise you to measure not at the jack but right on the PCB contacts. Reading may occur much better. Very thin output wires lead to additional voltage drop :-( Thin wires is usual situation for cheap chinesse PSU. 2) Electrolythic capacitor 22uF X 400V has too low capacitance. AFAIK there is empirical rule: this capacitance approx. equals to output wattage. For 60W output that capacitor must be about 60uF. If not we'll get great ripple over output DC

Watched this video yesterday. Coincidentally, just an hour ago, the power supply in my home-built living room lamp blew up, and as I just found out, it's exactly the same type! Took it down from the ceiling immediately - the power supply was very hot and dripping electrolyte through the seams of the case - the tank cap failed and released the magic smoke. Now it has to stay outside on the balcony so it doesn't stink up my apartment ... I'll have to see which new supply from China has better quality :-) And I have to re-check the current my 432 pc. RGBW LED living room lamp actually draws ...

It did have a strange fine grid/mesh pcb soldered and glued underneath, I think it was for RFI absorb and cancel. 240AC - 19V 4A . strangely it made a very faint ticking noise when operating. Used to make a nasty crackle when plugging into mains (no inrush damping). Quality seemed reasonable.

Yep they repaired an unknown 12v supply and chucked it in a box, sloppy too. I like the fact that the supply has almost everything to be a decent supply. So do you think the bulk v capacitor is supposed to be 47uF?. And the output wire is really too dam thin. I wonder who actually made the pcb. I have one of those cheap generic 19v laptop chargers (no i didnt buy it lol), model up-060s, it has bits missing, but it is based around the ka3842, and that chip seems do a fair job.

Hi, can you explain why? When I touch any SMPS (12v) at the + or - output with a 230v ac test pen, the test pen neon lamp lights up. If I were to touch the output +12v I will get a tingling shock. NOTE: all my one dozens of 12v SMPS power supply none of them has an earth/ground connection at output or input. Can kindly help explain: #1. WHERE & HOW ac current manage to seep/superimposed into the DC output? #2. What is the function or purpose of having an AC current in the DC output. Thank you. Will appreciate and look forward to your help. PS: you can test it out by using an AC test pen at the output and see it light up.

I've seen a few of these types of power supplies from Asia. I wouldn't turn my back on them or leave them plugged in. The ones like this that are not ultrasonicly welded seem really sketchy to me. I don't have a problem with the phone chargers at 500mA-2,000mA, but that higher current stuff scares me. No parts match in the ones I've taken apart. The caps are like 5 different brands, the IC's look like bad knockoffs, like Texas Instruments with a logo that looks like the Hawaiian islands. Something just doesn't feel right about them. I've talked to several Firemen that work around here and they often say the number one cause of single home housefires around Southern California seems to be switch mode power supplies. Not exactly scientific research, but I think there might be some potential truth. Of course, around here wildfires destroy far far more structures.... I'm all for hacking and mod'ing SMPS, I might even hack one of these in a pinch, but I certainly won't leave it all alone or powered while I'm away from my bench ;)

BTW, I've seen you talk about the TL431 a bit strange a few times. I'm no expert by any stretch, but these configurations are not using the 2.5v reference as a 2.5v reference. They are using the "adjustable" configuration. The formula is quite simple: Vout=(1+R1/R2)*Vref I did a couple of videos on how to hack laptop/printer power supplies and a MC34063 buck circuit by swapping "R1 and R2" with a trimmer and a regular pot to change the voltage. I demonstrated the formula and how to calculate it in those videos. Thanks for explaining the snubber circuit in this video. That was one aspect of these SMPS designs I was still clueless about ;) -Jake

Против Глобал I just built an iPhone power adapter for free a couple of days ago. You just need 4 bias resistors to get the data lines at 1.8 and 2.6 volts IIRC... Some of us are too cheap to pay $1 ;-) ...but your 100% correct. This stuff exists because of stupid people. It always bugs me when people make prejudice statements about Asian people/countries, China specifically. People tend to forget they don't need us. Their domestic market is much larger than most people realize. If you can figure out how to navigate taobao..., we get the junk they don't want. They have a lot of nice stuff that isn't sold outside of China. We get sold cheap crap because that's all we pay money for. The roles are about to reverse. In the next decade we will be trying to sell to them and translating everything into simplified Chinese while they complain about our ignorance.

From what I have seen with equipment, all of it needs cooling. If someone takes one of these power supplies and covers it with bedding, they should not be surprised by a fire. It is not the fault of the cheap lower supply but the person that lacks respect for electricity and electronics. There is no such thing as a perfect power supply all of them dissipate heat, and if people can't understand that perhaps they should not be using electronics. The only other solution is to put thermal fuses or some other thermal shutdown to protect people from themselves. This means that the power supply will shutdown and no output, and people being like they are will say that there is something wrong with the supply even though it is operating as designed. As a result they do not put the safeties in because they do not want to have to take back on their own cost things that have nothing wrong with them. As a result we get house fires. There needs to be standards used internationally for thermal protection for idiots to protect the rest of us from them and protect the manufactures as well.

The output inductor is out but the tow capasitor is in parallel so 2 output caps are in use.
