How would you say that your product compares to this item for sale on a popular auction site:
I can’t figure out how to post a direct link or copy the URL on this iPad. But it’s item number 322392708398
Thanks for any info you can provide!
Hi Ted; the little voltage reg that is the subject of this thread, is only good for about a half amp load. It will rectify AC to DC, filter the resulting DC, and give you a steady output of any desired voltage from about 1.5 volts less than the supply, on down. It is equipped with a 22uH choke so that it does not interfere with DCS track signals. It is small, only 1" by 3/4", and lends itself nicely to mounting in an engine or railcar. But it can also be used for trackside accessory voltage regulation of course. And half an amp covers quite a few of our applications.
The regulator in your attachment on the other hand is considerably larger, and will handle up to a 7 amp output. It will accept either AC or DC input as well, but does not have DCS interference protection. It would be good for a large trackside accessory supply IMO, if that is what you are needing? I have not used it, so I really can't comment further on it's attributes.
