This compact, open-frame Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is designed for high-efficiency power conversion in space-constrained applications. It converts a wide range of AC input voltages (from 45V up to 277V) into a stable 12V DC output. With an ultra-small footprint and high conversion efficiency, it is an ideal choice for powering low-power microcontrollers, IoT sensors, and control boards directly from the mains.

Usage Tips
- Safety Warning: This is an "Open Type" module with exposed high-voltage components. Never touch the board while it is connected to AC power.
- Insulation: When mounting, ensure the bottom of the PCB is insulated from any metal surfaces using standoffs or a non-conductive plastic base.
- Capacitance: While the module is highly efficient, adding a small electrolytic capacitor (e.g., 100uF to 470uF) at the DC output can help further smooth out any ripple for extremely sensitive electronics.
