Schematic: Wx-dc12003

A TL431 precision shunt regulator, or a similar circuit, samples the output voltage and drives the optocoupler, ensuring tight regulation. D. Output Rectification and Smoothing

The AC input first passes through an EMI filter to reduce electromagnetic interference. It is then rectified by a bridge rectifier (often four 1N4007-type diodes or a dedicated bridge IC) and smoothed by a high-voltage electrolytic capacitor—typically marked as . 2. Switching Control

The WX-DC12003 is a highly compact, open-frame switching power supply module (SMPS). In the simplest terms, it's a tiny device designed to convert dangerous high-voltage alternating current (AC) from a wall outlet into a safe, low-voltage direct current (DC) that can power electronic projects.

: Provides galvanic isolation between the high-voltage input and low-voltage output, critical for user-facing electronics.

: There is a WX-DC12003 KiCad Library available on GitHub for those wanting to include the module in their own PCB layouts. wx-dc12003 schematic

: Users have noted its consistency over several years, though variations exist. For instance, a similar module marked JL-AD3W-HT-V3 exists but may require extra filtering compared to the WX-DC12003 Go to product viewer dialog for this item. A TL431 precision shunt regulator, or a similar

A small 6-pin or 8-pin IC acts as both the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller and the high-voltage switching MOSFET.

While the transformer provides isolation, never touch any part of the board while it is connected to mains voltage.

Thanks to community contributions, a detailed schematic has been reverse-engineered and shared. The work of a user named "LikeTheSandwich" on the All About Circuits forum stands out. By carefully disassembling a WX-DC12003 module, this user not only drew a complete schematic but also documented the bare PCB, the PCB without the transformer, and an English version of a key component datasheet, all available in a forum post for the community.

Kaito, a freelance "circuit-breaker," sat in a cramped basement workshop, staring at the schematic projected onto his retinas. The WX-DC12003 was a relic of the Old World, a high-efficiency switching power supply that everyone claimed didn't exist. Yet, there it was: a blueprint of capacitors, inductors, and a mysterious integrated circuit labeled only as Nexus-9 .
