This can often be found in the datasheet , but I can not find it in the Meanwell datasheet so it is going to be a trial and error.

NTC thermistor, fuse and wires will introduce some parasitic resistance and inductance to the circuit. It may be sufficient to isolate supply from caps.

Even better solution is P-channel MOSFET in-rush current limiter.

Either you have a preferred connector type (like molex mini-fit, KK396, KK508 ...) or you can use parametric search (digikey.com, mouser.com ...).

You will need a NTC thermistor for inrush current limiting. I would start with around 5 Ohms and 10A rated (~ 25-30mm diameter) NTC.

I would go for some basic 5mm diffused LED and 2mA current drive. Current limiting resistor is then 22KOhm ( (48-3)/0.002=22K ), 0.25W ( (48-3)*0.002=0.09W + some safety margin).

Ok, thanks I've got some great replies now!

I've drawn a diagram (and I'm new to this, so bear with me :)) with the following features (or at least what I intended):
* Indicator LED on circuit (capacitor decharger)
* Multiple power rails (for flippers, for slingshots, etc.)
* Fuses on all power rails
* Indicator LED on all power rails

Is my diagram and idea correct?

Thanks,
Raymond
