    I am looking for a converter that I could solder directly into the PCB.
    The converter will be powered from 230V mains and the output should have 5V and a minimum capacity of 2A - 2.5A.

    I am looking for ready systems because I suspect that making such converters will not be profitable.

    Searching in goggles, I found some converters ready for soldering in PCB with corresponding parameters, but prices are from PLN 50 up.
    That's quite a lot.

    Has anyone ever dealt with such topics? Did he find ready-made systems with small dimensions somewhere?

    According to my search, it is the cheapest to buy a 230V / 5V / 2A power supply on a popular auction site and "disassemble" it and then "integrate" it in the PCB circuit.

    I wonder only how with the durability and performance of such power supplies?

    Maybe someone was working on the topic and helping?
    The best would be some cheap ready AC / DC converters for PCB

    I browse TME so many times and I haven't seen these MW at the beginning of the list :)

    Quite cool because the parameters are ok and the dimensions suit me very well :)

    Thanks.

    PS
    If anyone else has something, I invite you to the discussion

    What makes me wonder about these power supplies is that the housing version is cheaper than the open version.

    This is also interesting :)
    But when I looked at Farnell there are even bigger differences.
    The closed versions oscillate around PLN 50 and the open versions are 3 times more expensive.
    Theoretically TME gives 36 months warranty for these power supplies !!!

    Look also that the open versions are larger in size - I suspect that the open versions are simply better.
    Better filtration, better stabilization and better insulation

    As I am at the stage of designing a new device, I will have the opportunity to test these power supplies in quite difficult conditions.
    Variable temperatures (outdoor operation in IP68 boxes) and various types of interference on the electrical network.
    We'll see how long they last.

    I came with this converter - power supply.
    I bought this 10W with a capacity of 2A.
    In peaks you can even pull 2.5A from it - it suits me because the GPRS module sometimes sips so much :)
    It beautifully keeps these 5V output!

    Cool, small and clever - it elegantly fits into the PCB.
    Instead of designing converters for PCBs, you can buy pretty smart, well-enclosed cash.

    At the moment I recommend - we'll see how it will be with durability
