This is a typical Leadex design. Although the PCB is small, it is not overpopulated with parts, thanks to the small main transformer and the number of vertical daughterboards used. For example, the main switching FETs are installed on a small daughterboard right after the big bulk capacitor, which has a small heatsink to help cool them down. The PCB also contributes to their cooling. The main FETs are arranged in a full-bridge topology, which is the best for high power output and efficiency levels.
On the secondary side, twelve FETs handle the 12V rail, which feeds a pair of DC-DC converters to generate the minor rails. Each DC-DC converter uses its own PWM controller and has two FETs provided by Alpha & Omega. Lastly, the filtering caps are provided by CapXon and ChengX, two Chinese brands. I know that most of you frown upon the sight of Chinese caps, but things have changed, and these products have vastly improved. I know this firsthand since I started testing caps a while ago and visited ChengX’s factory to learn more about how caps are manufactured. Japanese caps are still of extra-high quality but also super expensive, so they are unsuitable for budget-oriented products. Their availability is also limited since everyone was to have them, especially the EV car manufacturers.
The cooling fan uses a fluid dynamic bearing and is manufactured by Jiete Aviation Model Technology, which has a factory in Guangzhou. Next time I visit this town, I will visit them since they seem to be Hong Hua’s main adversary.
