Clamping cable cover for Mean Well LRS-350 PSUs

thingiverse

This is a simple, slim end cover box for a Mean Well LRS-350-xx PSU (power supply unit) so that it can be used a little more safely as as desktop power supply - though see warning below. Exposure to dangerous mains electricity is reduced. I use a Mean Well LRS-350-24 to power my ToolkitRC M8S LiPo charger, amongst other things. It has cable holes with cable grips for a typical mains cable input and 2x AWG12 silicone flexible wires output (mine to an XT30 connector). I just use the cable with plug from a cheap extension cable and wired up some AWG12 silicone cable and XT30 female connector fo 6th output. Obviously, like most of this sort of PSU, it is meant to be enclosed since the mains connectors are exposed - which is why I designed this box. Use at your own risk! Requires: 2 pcs of countersunk M4 x 6mm (or M4 x 5mm) for the sides. 2 pcs of cap head M4 x 25mm for the top (could use other heads) 2 pcs M4 brass inserts (eg 6mm diameter x 8mm long) for the bottom - melt them in. SAFETY WARNING: Like all mains powered devices - use at your own risk - no liability can be accepted. Only use these power supplies if you know what you are doing. The Mean Well power supply already has bare mains connectors and this end-protecting plastic design makes it much safer, but it is still in no way up to the safety standards of a consumer-type power supply product. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN - there are cooling slots in the top of the Mean Well PSU that thin objects or liquids could get through to contact with dangerous high voltage mains electricity. Also, the whole plastic end could be pulled off with enough force - eg if the power supply fails off a table and the cable is still plugged into the wall. Use at your own risk.
