    very cool picture! easy to imagine
    SR10 the most interesting for low power
    do you have any links to aliexpress?
    I'm not able to find any new chips

      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 try

        NRF24L01 + MCU needs 15mA
        If you have other things to connect you need to count them too
        for example SSR needs at least +10mA

        I'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

          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 :)

          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

                500mA should also be sufficient for a sensor node, even with a couple of relays, mysensors in GW mode, etc. it's not even near the 500mA limit

                  sure. sensornode without relays requires 15-20mA
                  with SSR relay will need +10-15mA for each relay
                  +50-100mA for each regular relay

                    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-214-001-105

                    I'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?

                            @axillent Thank's verry much. I didn't know the current up benefit of a step-down. I think it's the key of my problem!
                            I'll test the lnk306. Hope It will work for my project.

                            For my "in wall module", it's just lights so no problem for an SSR. But for the wall plug, The user chose the load they want... so if it's a TV or a washing machine or a power supply, I read an SSR is not verry good for these things...

                              For LNK take a look for AN37, especially optimization at table 9
                              an37-linkswitch.pdf

                              SSR is fine for most of the loads. But you need to follow recommendation of their use and to control limitations (like maximum ratings and heat dissipation)

                                    @klim I made a test PCB

                                    IMG_2088.JPG IMG_2089.JPG IMG_2090.JPG

                                    I succeed to get about 34mA with 1uF capacitor and probably it will provide 40mA stated in the datasheet
                                    it is not possible to use it directly without an additional LDO or step-down because of a very high ripple.
                                    According to my measurement ripple is 2.8V with 12.6V average output (figures in table should be multiplied by 10):

                                    consumed power from AC is 0.8 W with 36mA output
                                    this means 57% efficiency, not bad for such thing

                                      hox much current could you get with a LDO ort step-Down to 5V or 3.3V? 80ma?

                                        @Tibus the output current from SR10 is depends on the capacitor and rectifier. See the table inside the datasheet

                                        with step-down I can get from my prototype about 100mA at 3.3V
                                        with LDO you will get out as many as you get in minus quiescent current of LDO itself

                                          I made a success by replacing polymer capacitor by ceramic one in the usage of SR10
                                          it leads to a dramatical decrease in needed space. I believe that it will be the smallest AC-DC fotprint

                                          But still I have som problems with DHT sensor to work from SR10 (http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/971/small-wall-outlet-sensor-node)
