The reason your previous question on the same subject hasn't been answered is because no-one understands the question ! Hint: a transformer emphatically does NOT give "a constant stream of electricity" it HAS to give you electricity whose sign varies 50 ro 60 times a second. To make "constant" electricity you need a rectifier at least. A flyback transformer needs a special drive circuit to work. You wire the primary to the circuit and high voltages will appear on the secondary windings. Saying 4,5 or 6 pins doesn't say anything about the transformer - the internal connections could be "auto", split primary, split secondary, tapped primary tapped secondary or both. If you want people to click on your links, be nice to them. I can't be arsed clicking links where people are trying to be funny.
