...The datasheet shows that if the inhibit line is left at 0V the PSU will sit at 42.8V (out of regulation). You also mention that it might turn off at some point, but I can't see that mentioned in the data - is this from experience?

No I haven't tried it - but whats the point of an 'Inhibit' that doesn't? Need to put a 100mA load on as well for test so need to find a 470ohm 10W resistor...

...
Need to get some 4.8mm spade connectors first though - I only have 6.3mm and they're not secure on the terminals...

Maplin's do them N35CY (Blue) and they do red as well...

or if you're nowhere near a Maplin a pack of 25 for £1.99 delivered.....

(PS I've emailed Minibea UK on the off chance they have a schematic)

BTW If there's any interest in the from other living here in the Great Smoke, (ie a 'group buy')...he saying he can give more discount - plus I can use my own courier (£7.50 for up to 25kg in weight - which should get about 7 of these in there!). So each could work out as low as £13 ...which for that spec of PSU is just insane.

Top quality PSU at a great price! I think it will be set to 45V soon.....Just keep giving Irving a prod...or a

If you're setting up a group buy put me down for 3....might come in handy :)

I think the group buy would only work for those that can collect from my place here in North London ...ie savings to be had from lumping the one delivery together (or they could be collected from my work nr the Barbican in London)...don't really want to proceed until Irving works his magic though.

The seller will give a discount (though I've not asked/pushed him on this), & Parcel2Go will deliver upto 25Kg in weight door to door for about £7.50.

That aside, if you want to go your own way & can beast him down to a tenner each for 3, then with Parcel2Go as the courier, then that would only be £12.50 per PSU to your door!
