Geofex Spyder power supply question.

[digi2t]

Just need a reassurance insofar as the diode bridge is concerned.

I know that DB101 is spec'd, but I've got a line on DB104's real cheap. I know they're rated at 400V, but they should work just fine, right?

Cheers,

For diode bridges, more voltage rating = OK.

For diode bridges, more voltage rating = OK.

Thanks R.G.. Just came across an old post where you mention the DB104 as OK. Thanks again for the reply.  

EDIT -  Just came across these transformers on Ebay. What's your though on these R.G.? Would they work?

Maybe.

I tend to stay away from lighting-industry magnetics, because they're awfully casual about magnetic leakage. I really suggest the transformer that Weber sells:

Thanks for your advice R.G.

I finally went with the 41PG120, 115v Pri, 12v Sec, Sec. current 120mA.

I can get 16 of them delivered for under 70$. That, and all the other components + enclosure, will give me a clean 16 x 9vdc power supply for around 130$.

I can't get a Voodoo 8x for that, that's for sure!
