A power source device is so constituted that a first capacitor connected across DC output terminals of a rectifier is made to be of a relatively small capacity, a resonance circuit is formed by a primary winding of a transformer and a second capacitor, first and second switching elements connected in parallel to a smoothing capacitor are alternately made ON and OFF to cause currents to flow, a both-end voltage of the first capacitor drops to be substantially close to zero volt even in a period in which a source voltage of an AC power source becomes substantially zero, and an input current can be drawn in smoothly over the entire range of a cycle of the source voltage of the AC power source, whereby higher harmonics of the input current can be reduced, a pulsation of the current flowing to a load can be minimized, and required number of parts for the power source device is reduced to be able to realize circuit simplification and cost reduction.
