Hi,

Re: SKU: ADA658

IS a switching PSU a “regulated” PSU?



Is this OK for Arduino?



Thanks,

Hi Chris,

Yes this is a regulated power supply. Unregulated power might be directly off a battery. It would be safe to power your Arduino with it. I should point out that 10A is far more current than an Arduino could ever use. You would be safe with a 500mA-2A power supply. That said, it won’t hurt anything to provide it with 10A, it just won’t use what it doesn’t need.
