Electronic – Input and Output terminals of the transformer

transformer

Transormer that i got from my SMPS

I want to use low voltage ac supply for my projects. I have got one from my computer SMPS.
But its winding terminals are making me confuse.At one side,there is 2 terminals(in the picture,it is down side),and the resistance across these terminals is 1 ohm.
The other side has 6 terminals,with 3rd and 4th one shorted.(in picture up side). The resistance across all those terminals are also nearly 1 ohm.
And lastly,there is a projection from the transformer (shown in picture). I don't know ,what the crap it is.

I want to know the exact input and output terminals.

This is a high frequency transformer. Two terminals are, Primary and other side (6 terminals) is multi output secondary and possibly a reset winding. Since you took it out from SMPS, It could be Flyback or forward transformer.

Note: You might not be able to use it as conventional transformer. It could be dangerous too (Saturation, Heat)

Other stuff at its top could be low quality shield .
