Introduction: What's Inside? #1: USB Phone Charger (Salvaging Electronic Components)!

By My Youtube Channel & More!
About: I've been making Instructables since I was 13. Now, I mostly make videos of my projects, however I'm still active here, so don't hesitate to reach out! Sick with a deadly disease called DIY-itis!

This Is a 5.0 Volt 0.7 AMP Samsung phone charger

Step 1: Tools

These are the tools I used If you take one apart you may need to use different tools:

Wire Cutters

Pliers

Flat Screwdiver

Step 2: The Parts

2 Resistors

2 400V 4.7 Micro-Farads Electrolytic Capacitor

50V 470Micro-Farads Electrolytic Capacitor

Useless connector (for me)

And a useless transformer because I couldn't find the datasheet so I don't know what it does.

I had a couple a problems with the capacitors so I'm not really happy of this overall, but, hopefully I'll do more of these "Whats Inside" Instructables which will be better.

Does anyone know if the is voltage converted from AC to DC with the capacitors? I am asking this because there is no bridge rectifier (diode bridge).

Do you like taking apart electronic devices? I've made a collection of a couple"What's Insides" If you're interested:
