Hi,
I mean Meanwell (see what I did there) must sell a heap of these "enclosed" PSU's, heck I have a few lying around.
The AC terminals are exposed on these "enclosed" PSUs. I know they're supposed to be part of a larger systems enclosure but a lot of hobbyists (some with little kiddies I'm sure) are buying these for PC modding et. al. I for one don't wanting to be putting my hand in a PC case and touching live 220V AC terminals.
So I guess the first question is, has anyone seen a cost effective (close to Meanwell prices) PSU family that just has an IEC320 on the back, the Excelsys Xgen stuff is lovely but costs the earth?
I'm looking for 60A@5V and 25A@12V,
Say I can't find PSU's with IEC320, so I go with a Meanwell LRS-350-5 and a LRS-350-12, can I connect the 5V and 12V to the same set of PC disk "Molex" connectors (AMP Mate-n-Lok 1-480424-0)?
So if I can do that, what the heck can I put these PSUs into to safely cover the AC side, I'm not much of a handyman so an enclosure you can buy online would be good, obviously I would add a fan and IEC320 with fuse and power switch?
Basically I want to power a lot of DIY disk shelves, with lots of 5V 2.5" drives inside.
Thanks.
Richard
