CCS for tubes/valves: PCBs

Having the transistor turned around would at least not having space on the board reserved for the heat sink (on those that require heatsinks). It would also give more heatsink flexibility.

And the idea of using 1 board for any of the 3 CCSs is one i like. Does mean good docs, but we want that anyway....

Guys

I think this could work as a universal CCS board.

I didn't go over it for correctness, but suggest a few tweaks -- larger holes for variableR (geek -- where would the extra R go to fake the value of the cermet?), and some trimming of unused real-estate (light green bits), and room for a pink mouse next to the .com (all the PM icons i have have a mounting hole in them)

Greetings all,

may I have your opinion on this design, it came from a french review LED which did not exist anymore. The author is J.Gest, but the second part of the article has never been published. Here is the component list also, but is missing the PCB layout.

R1=12 Ω 1/2W
R2=12 Ω 1/2W
R3, R4=33Ω 1/8W 5% if T2 and T3 2SK170BL
R3, R4=22Ω 1/8W 5% if T2 and T3 2SK170GR
R5=330 Ω 1/4W 1%
R6=7.5kΩ 1/2W
Rv1=5 kΩ 10 or 25 turns

C1=220 µF 35V 105°C
C2=220 nF 50V
C3=220 nF 50V
C4=22 µF 35V tantale goutte or CTS13

D1 to D4=1N4007
D5=TL 431

T1=BC549C
T2=2SK170GR or BL
T3=2SK170GR or BL
T4=2SK30AGR
T5=IRF840, IRF840AFI

IC1=7812

I'm currently trying to figure out the PCB layout, and I'm very bad for that...
