List of power supplies manufactured by Deer/L&C - post them here

[japlytic]

Last night, I opened a Vogue 230W AT supply, and it had "DEER" on the PCB.

My current sightings of Deer/L&C supplies are:

FRD (uses L&C model numbers)
Sky Hawk
Vogue (as mentioned before)

If you have any other units manufactured by Deer/L&C (look for "DEER" on the PCB or an L&C-style model number e.g. LC-B400ATX), list them here!

Deer is all over the place - here's a few more: Allied, Austin, Eagle, Duro, Mustang, US-Can, Turbolink (some models), and Tsunami.

Allied are by Deer? Damn... no wonder we had one die at the school, 2 months after being put into service. Warranty covered it and we got a new one from newegg...

Greenline. I haven't seen one of these in about four years though.

Yup, though I will say they looked to be a little better in quality than most of Deer's other aliases last time I saw one. IIRC Allied and L&C are actual Deer owned companies.

Hyena, Foxconn (supplier to them), Foxlink, Codegen, L&C, Logic

Codegen? Sh!t. I bought a Codegen 400w 12cm fan one for $18 a few weeks ago to replace an EVER 250w with failed fan.

No! Not Codegen! I'm striking out big-time here. I just built a system for my uncle with a Codegen supply, that came in a Codegen case. It's running an Athlon64 3000+, I think. So far, no stability problems, but he doesn't use his desktop all that much... favors the laptop (perhaps a good thing, now )

Just FYI it does not need to say "Deer" on the PCB, my L&C says "DR-ASIC ATX Ver:1.0B"

Were those Codegen power supplies heavy?

Re: List of power supplies manufactured by Deer/L&C - post them here

Newbie- dunno... it came pre-installed in the case I bought for the system. So, I'm guessing "no" is the answer

[Chris1992]

Re: List of power supplies manufactured by Deer/L&C - post them here

Newbie2 - It wasn't so heavy - about 2lbs iirc.

Re: List of power supplies manufactured by Deer/L&C - post them here

Keep in mind not all Codegen's and Skyhaws are Deer. These are completely separate companies from Foxconn Deer.

I dare say that I've seen some pretty decent Skyhawks.. none of them were made by Deer, of course.

What's ironic is Deer is a "partner" of Foxconn, but when Foxconn needs a decent power supply, they turn to Lite-On.

Thanks. I come in here and do a head count and I'm like, "OKW's here. LarryMoeCurly, MDW are here..." WTF?!? I already know everyone in here from other forums!!!!

Zebronics, model LC-200C 200W AT with a 2003 sticker.. It's stuffed with those caps with a logo that looks like the planet Saturn and its ring, as well as a few Jun Fus (mostly smaller values). The primary-side mains filter is missing several components. The largest secondary cap is 1000uF, 16v and it's 10mm, packed tight - not much scope for putting larger/better caps here. No proprietary ICs here - it uses the stock TL494/LM339 combo that first showed up 17 years ago in AT PSUs - the designer of that configuration must be a genius, if nobody has been able to improve on it in all these years.

Both chips have been around since the 70s, and, obviously, are used a lot some 30 years later. Some things are just good enough that improved versions end up being confined to specialized products/marketplaces. If you check the switch devices in TL494-based P/Ss, you'll probably find that many of them are transistors instead of MOSFETs. Some of the ones I've seen, the P/N has some prefix, followed by "13007". This means that it is a transistor that is a copy of a part Motorola introduced in the late 70s or early 80s, the MJE1300x series.

Today I found a "JPAC", model 500ATX, that had the classic signs of L&C-ness...

It was marked as a 500W power supply. The primary caps are 470uf 200v Canicons. All the components inside were pretty cheesy-looking (seemed 30% of the PCB was bare with only silkscreens showing where components should have gone!) and the wires and heatsinks thin almost to the point of being flimsy. It used a mixture of Canicon and 'Seacon' caps of widely varying (mostly low) values. Personally I wouldn't use this thing even for 200W, it looks so lame.

Sorry I can't provide pictures (yet)...
