I can understand the obvious misspelling, but what is "wafer" supposed to
mean?

I'm trying to understand the reason that an "S" is appended to
resistors, capacitors, and diodes, ie RS2, CS4, DS2.

A purely inspired guess would be that these are 'safety rated' components.

RS2 looks like it could be a flameproof part, CS5 is likely an X-rated cap,
RS3 a high-voltage type (looks like the start-up R that needs 350V rating).

And you can see some 'CY' Y-type caps too on the second pic.

And then the theory falls down brilliantly on the secondary side !


As for WAFER, if you're looking for a typo on a QWERTY keyboard, then
possibilities include SAFER, WAGER, WATER, WAVER, WADER. However, I'll
wager it would be safer to keep water out of the power supply. I'd
also waver before touching the power connector, although wearing
rubber waders may afford some protection.

Google "wafer connector".
