Budget friendly adjustable bench Power supplies perfect for testing LED's and other uses!

Pretty sure that is the norm. DC common grounded to AC earth. I can think of only one unit that I have tested that didn't have continuity between the two.

Bought the DPS5015 and case some days ago and was able to get the DELL EPS-470 from a german dealer today on Ebay (not as cheap as the US sources). If there is no 48V power cable included (http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-switches/f/866/t/19646456) I would like to get the 3-pin connector to make my own. Does somebody knows the name or a cheap source for them? Is it Amphenol …?

I simply soldered the wires directly to the output pins on the power supply. Maybe not the pretties thing ever but it works.

Antenne can you post good picture of connector on power supply?

Can't see it precisely on pictures I found online.

Antenne,

I gut wire harnesses from cars to get high-quality wires of all gauges and connectors for cheap. An auto wire harness will not have the right shape plastic connector, but you can de-pin the connectors and they will have high-quality female pin connections that work really well just on their own. Add a couple layers of heat shrink and you are good to go!

(pictured is a smaller wire/connector that I had at my desk.)

On this page is a pretty good picture of the output connector:

Sorry don’t know about that one.

Looks like you can fit half of GPU power supply connector from PC PSU…maybe…

Ok, found them. Thanks for the hint with GPU/PC connectors. I think these are Molex (Foxconn?) “5557/5559 3 Pin male Connector 4.2mm”. Some sellers at AliExpress have them:

Yes, it should fit.
I’m happy to help :slight_smile:

I cut down an AXT PC PS connector to 2 or 3 pins. Then used larger gauge wire. Hot glue was used to hold the 90 degree bend and insulate.


Received DPH3205 and housing today and it’s great.

Works perfectly and looks great.
Alu case is perfect fit.





Can someone explain to me how to program and load that memory sets (M0-M9)? I’m a bit confused there…

I never took the time to mess with the memory settings, I just manually set it each time. The only memory I have wished I had programmed is 4.2v and 3A anyways, it is what I set it to by default generally.

I have a short explanation in my review (All models have the same user interface): Test of power supply DPS5015

Thank you HKJ.

Hi friend
thank your very much for your picture , it is very good
I saw your question “Can someone explain to me how to program and load that memory sets (M0-M9)? I’m a bit confused there…”, some friend asked to do a video to show this long time ago. because I am very busy. now i made a video to show this , you can check RD power supply How to store data into specified data group and how to extract this data group. - YouTube
english is bad, hope it can help you

Video is very good and enough to explain what to do. Thank you.

—- good, hope it can help you
if you have any question , you can tell me
and you can tell your friend on BLF ,
if they buy power supply and housing together , I will give them discount
you can help me advertise

Those ATX connectors are in the Molex product line and are called mini-fit jr. You can buy them with various numbers of pins. However, crimping and soldering pins for them is not much fun at all, and cutting down old connectors with wires attached like above is maybe better. Those things are only rated for 9A though. I'm sure you could put more through them, but I probably wouldn't use them for main current wires on a supply like this. They aren't that solid. Something made for high current, like an xt-60 or deans, is a better way to go, and for cases where you only need two wires, they're easier to deal with too.

I have own housing now, did you see that https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/RD-DP-and-DPS-Power-Supply-housing-Step-down-casing-digital-control-buck-Voltage-converter-only/923042_32800401603.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.W5Rnk3
