Re: -5V needed on MVS and CPS2 ?

CPS2 and MVS don't need -5V. Not sure if there is a list of PCBs that need -5v around, but in my experience there are more PCBs that don't require -5v than do.

Yeah I guess I'll go with the Mean Well since they are more common around here, but I need to figure out what the CPS2 and MVS boards actually need on the 5V rails.

Yeah I've seen those ... the one on eBay also caught my attention.
Anyone had expirience with Heima PSUs ? I read everywhere that Min Dong for example sucks

Re: -5V needed on MVS and CPS2 ?
I always used to use Wei-Ya ones for superguns and they were perfectly fine. I've never tried the Heima and Min-Dong ones before but they're probably pretty similar. I do reckon that all of those would be better than using an ATX PSU with an unadjustable +5v though.
Be sure to hook it up with an adequate gauge, length and quantity of wire too.

A few seconds over evil-bay produced this result: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Trafo-Netzteil-N ... Swj2dXjTBS
My 15kHz cabinet Peplos will never power up, with any item, and I am quite proud of that.

Mean Well RT-125ARMRM wrote:Also recommended Mean Well because we use similar power supply from them at my work and they seem to be reliable too.
Just check their site or a European electronics distributor like Farnell or Mouser for a model that offer +5 and +12, i've checked before and i think nowadays you won't find one with -5 +5 and +12...
Output 1: 5V DC, 12A
Output 2: 12V DC, 5.5A
Output 3: -5V DC, 1A
Looks pretty good to me.

Re: -5V needed on MVS and CPS2 ?
Damn how could I miss that PSU ?
Is there ANY board out there that needs those crazy 15/16A on the 5V rail that other PSUs provide?

I'm sure there's something, but 12 amps is enough for 99.9% of boards.iCEQB wrote:Is there ANY board out there that needs those crazy 15/16A on the 5V rail that other PSUs provide?

That RT-125A looks very decent and the price isn't that bad. I might buy one for me in the future.
If you buy, please let us know your experience.

It was unfortunately too late for me as well, at the time I saw his post I already bought he one from eBay.
But knowing Min Dong it might explode soon, so I will buy the Mean Well

Re: -5V needed on MVS and CPS2 ?
I've ordered it through the company where i work at. As i said before, we buy a lot of similar power supplies but with different specs. I've called our supplier and asked for the RT-125A model, low and behold, they had them in stock
I will let you guys know the final price (should be around 30€-35€) and my thoughts on the unit.

Re: -5V needed on MVS and CPS2 ?
Just came back from lunch and found this baby on my desk:
Final cost (with taxes included) - 33€
First impressions:
Small size compared to standard Arcade PSU's and the usual built quality from Mean Well.
Will let you guys know some details after the weekend.

A bit slimmer and longer than usual.
PS- Box and item with matching serial, looks like an MVS kit

Re: -5V needed on MVS and CPS2 ?
I forgot to update this subject so here goes:
Let me start by saying that the power supply works great. But it has a "strange" feature that caused me some trouble.
The first time i turned it on, i did it without any game in order to adjust the +5V. The power supply simply kept blinking and giving the power in an intermittent way. I thought that it was damaged and sent it back, didn't even dared to try a PCB because i was afraid that behaviour could damage one of my beloved PCB
Turns out that this is normal for this models becuse it has an internal system that requires a constant load to work, it need 2A on the +5V and 0.5A on the 12V.
I've had a lot of different power supplies in the past from different brands, even have a lot (different models) from this brand at my work place and never seen anything like this.
Bottom line, it works great
