Switching PSUs

[jerryspaghetti]

What are people using for go to switching PSUs these days?

Suzo Happ ones seem to have disappeared or become crazy expensive.

I heard Meanwell are decent but don’t want to use generic Chinese ones on Amazon etc

ATX all the way.

Meanwell ones. Direct from the US it turned out.

It was cheaper to buy two imported than one on Amazon.

Ah, slightly modified ATX, at least the older ones that supply -5V are perfect though. They just stop if there's a problem, unlike say, my Asteroids PSU that when a single resistor went OC delivered 14V to all the TTL. Then kept on giving until the board was good and toasty. All good again now.

If it does not have -5V, an 7905 regulator on the -12V works just fine too.

Yes, done that a few times!
