AC-DC Converter 6/12/24V to 12V Full-Bridge Rectifier Filter Power Supply Module (Voltage [6V-32V] (capacitance 50V470UF))

I run AC model trains. There can often be uses for accessory DC voltage. These rectifiers connect in just a minute and work great. I ordered a quantity of one and two units (as pictured) were received.

would be so much more useful with the addition of a regulation chip

Don’t know what to say other than it works. Not something you will see after your project is done, but worked for my project.

Bought these for model railroad l.e.d. lighting. Robust current capacity. No provision for mounting; ended up using thick double-sided tape.

These can allow you to use dc lamps and sockets in Marklin lighted model train cars and hide them on the floor of the car.

Capacitor blew with a 24V AC input (dangerous stuff)... Maybe mine was defective?... kept working after that but now it is not filtered so, not a full bridge rectifier anymore... I have the second one but hesitant to test on a 16V ac input, I'll post an update when I gather the courage to test it with the other transformer...

You would think this would produce 12 volts DC from varying input voltages from the description but reading the poorly written detail they actually produce 1.44 x the AC input voltage. By my measurements that's pretty much accurate. Fortunately, the relay I wanted to use with this has a 12-24 volt coil and my input voltage is 16 VAC so they will work for my application. Don't know how long they'll last. The capacitor is a Chinese manufacturer, an unknown brand to me; 50V 470 uf. The wiring is 24 gauge. You could desolder it easily and attach something more robust. We'll see....

I use these for model railroading and they worked perfect for my led conversions
