230V power supply to Arduino

that is true. I have the experience with SR036 (SR037 provides 5V output) and can say that you will never find smaller supply. But the output current will not exceed 50mA and this will depends on your mosfet output capability. Such a supply consumes about 1W while unloaded. Etc. not that green from the power consumption. This is my one side SR037 supply:

I just took a quick google, where the SR036 showed up, so no in depth analysis of alternatives.
if you know what you are doing it is also other choice - linkswitch chips LNK302/304/306. The last one can deliver up to 350mA not isolated power directly 5V or 3.3V. It is as efficient as isolated - unloaded it will consume about 0.2W. A bit bigger than SR036. Easy to construct because you do not need custom transformers. For example Duwi zwave wall switches are using this type of the supply. This is my one side SMD version with regulated output:
That one seems very interesting, for powering arduino things (from an efficiency point of view).
Only one problem, I don't have the time for it at the moment.. I have to restrict my self, in starting new projects :). So for the moment it's battery powered sensors, that are getting my attention,

I have with succes used these:
They are really easy to dismatle, and the result is this - https://www.dropbox.com/s/ep43uyve5v0msv6/20141206_214210.jpg?dl=0
At $1.10 I didn't even think about making my own PSU :)

Yes, that is an option. I did it with one and it was pretty easy.
Also found this https://github.com/openhardwarelabs/arduino-power-supply and I like some parts being isolated/encapsulated .

myrra also provides regulated modules without need of external regulator
for example this one http://ru.farnell.com/myrra/47121/power-supply-3-3v-2-5w/dp/1825772 -
What kind of protections are embedded?
-
Never mind...

Here i found a size example of that chips:
power supplySR086, SR087 and SR10 you can get at ali too.

Hi, sorry not available at aliexpress anymore, maybe it was just temporary.
But the SR10 (fqn is SR10LG-G) is available at RS-Components and Alibaba.Powering the mcu and some peripherals is ok, but do you know the maximum burst time of the NRF24l01 when sending? As all of the chips are limited in current by a few mA, i'm not shure if it will work reliable. I know that big capacitors can fix such issues, but is it sufficient?
-
All is fine) I found them at local seller
Will be cool to tryNRF24L01 + MCU needs 15mA
If you have other things to connect you need to count them too
for example SSR needs at least +10mAI'm currently looking for a small supply for the wall switch build based on arduino.
So, I will need 15 + 10 = 25mA. Both SR086 and SR10LG can be sufficient,
SR10LG datasheet has very clear table - power ability is very depends on input capacitor.
25mA should be not a problem. For 240V you need 0.68uF with full rectifier schema
For 120V you will need at minimum 1uF with full rectifier schema -

Just got it today and made some tests. Price is cool, but I will not recommend to use this for loads higher than 500mA and also will not recommend to supply arduino without an additional 1000uF capacitor. It is a conclusion from the measurement:
- without load 5.34V output with 440mV pulsation, 0.1W consuption
- 10 Om load gives 470mA current 4.74V output with 440mV pulsation, 3.5W consuption
- 5 Om load gives 848mA current 4.43V output with 520mV pulsation, 6W consuption
- 3.33 Om load gives 1.06mA current 4.07V output with 880mV pulsation, 7.4W consuption

What if you place a 3v3 ldo at the 5V output, what is the ripple then, at the different loads?

with good ldo supported by sufficient capacitors it can be fine for arduino
but still I will not recommend to go above 500mA with this supply -
Hello, I'm also searching a way to get 5V from AC to make a beatiful mysensor wallPlug... I'm searching the smallest and cheapest way to do it. My problem is I want to drive a regular relay (a SSR is not very good for plug and other things no?), an atmega328 tqfp, a NRF24 and some other things like a current sensor,... so, I think I need 150ma +-? (100ma for the relay, max 25-30ma for the NRF and arduino and some ma for the status leds,...)
I found here the SR086 but I don't know if I could take 150ma on it.
What is the best way for my projet?I also found these one but don't know if it ok too :
http://www.newark.com/vigortronix/vtx-214-001-105/ac-dc-conv-fixed-1-o-p-1w-5v/dp/45X5484?ost=VTX-214-001-105I'm searchin the smallest way because i also would like to make a in wall module for interuptor,... so the VTX above is ok for a wallplug but a bit big for a in wall module... How the cubino for exemple make a DC module so small?

@axillent My worry is taking 150ma out of a SR086? Is the SR086 ok to give 150ma?
The VTX is ok but big for an inwall module so is there a good way to get 150ma in 5V from 220VAC in the smallest form factor possible? (or in less than 1cm height?)
I also found these one but a SR086 would be fine for a inwall relay... (but 150ma?)

@Tibus SR086 able to provide 100mA from 9-50V. For example you can set it to provide 20V and add DC-DC step-down for example based on MP2359. This will give you current-UP benefit at 5V etc. 20V@100mA will give you 5V@360mA maximum with 90% efficiency
My preference in your case LNK306, you can get directly up to 350mA. Using ceramic capacitors and SMD inductors you will fit in 7-10mm height (see one of my picture above)
And at last. Why not SSR? What type of the load do you have?
