Step down power transformer
step-down power transformer, likely designed for small appliances or DIY electronics. Based on the label in your second photo, here is the technical breakdown:
Technical Specifications
• Input (I/P): 220V @ 50Hz. This is designed for standard AC mains power (common in Europe, Asia, and Africa).
• Output (O/P): 12V AC. Note that this provides Alternating Current (AC), not DC. If you need to power a DC device (like an Arduino or LED strip), you will need a bridge rectifier and a capacitor.
• Current Rating: 160mA. This is a low-power transformer. It can provide about 1.92 Watts of power (12V \times 0.16A).
Wiring & Safety
• Primary (Input): The red wires are typically the high-voltage input side (220V).
• Secondary (Output): The black wires are the low-voltage output side (12V).
