Hi, in my engineering class we have been asked to help a company design their own computer power supplies, we have been asked to list a few materials that they could use for their parts, can anybody list some internal parts to a power supply such as heat sink as i can't find any online.
thanks

well i know they need

2. Wires (Molex, etc)
3. External wires (the 3 pin power to wall cable)
4. Switch (power button)

this info is just guessed by looking at a simple power supply
