This unit steps down 230V AC to 6V AC. If your project requires 6V DC, you will need to add a bridge rectifier circuit (using diodes) and a smoothing capacitor to convert the AC output to DC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I know which wires are the input and which are the output?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Typically, the primary (230V Input) wires are uniformly colored (often red or black) and are thinner. The secondary (0-6V Output) wires are usually thicker and differently colored. Always refer to the label printed on the transformer body to confirm the primary and secondary leads before applying mains power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this safe to use on a breadboard?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The transformer itself is heavy and should be securely mounted to a chassis or wooden board. Furthermore, because the primary side deals with lethal 230V AC mains voltage, the primary connections must be heavily insulated with heat shrink tubing and kept completely away from exposed breadboards or accidental human contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × 6V 1A Step-Down Transformer (230V to 0-6V AC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VOLTAS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49520577282286,"sku":"TRF-04127","price":148.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2132\/9029\/files\/0-6-1amp-step-down-transformer-800x800.jpg?v=1788241967","url":"https:\/\/www.tomsonelectronics.com\/products\/6v-1a-step-down-transformer-230v-to-0-6v-ac","provider":"Tomson Electronics ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
