Hello guys,
I'm am looking for a transformer like the ones used in 1$ fake iPhone Chargers. I dissembled one an attached a photo of it to make it more clear.
I was wondering why I can't find such an transformer on sites like dealExtreme and aliexpress for under 1$ but the charger for 0.70$. In my case there is no need for a expinsive transformer with proper isolation and so on since I want to switch the mains with an µController anyway. Has anyone tips for other search terms or sources to get these from? Thanks for helping
EDIT: some specs for the transformer:
230V to about 7V (there will be some regulation anyhow)
don't need to be capable of many A (only some 100mA) so there is no need for a real switching supply on our side, only transformer and some diodes with smoothing caps
