Hi Guys. I started to received the payments, but so far 1 guy paid in $CAN. Since $CAN is much lower and the U$, and that I paid mostly in U$, I end up short... For example 50$CAN is only 37.55U$, you see the problem...

Please make sure to send U$ funds to my Paypal, not $CAN. Thanks for your understanding...

Some asked me about the heatsink bracket, my own version, yours can be what ever you want, but mine fit the pcb layout...

Material aluminum corner, thickness 1/4'', Dimensions: H2''xD1-5/8''(top section)xL6''
You can use a much smaller corner bracket, mine is recycled from scrap metal I have in stock...

Took me 2 hours from start to finish, first cutting to size, I used my bench saw with none ferous blade, but VERY DANGEROUS, DON'T TRY IT IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING... Naturally with a metal hand saw it is much safer. Then some holes marking, drilling, threading, and finally some brushing finishing touch...

 

[Algar_emi]

Two hours later, it fits the pcb nicely... Now you know all my secrets 😉

Assembled my prototype this afternoon, and even if mine was modified to +/-24V, not dual mono, it is working just fine. Primaries selection was only tested at 120V, but will work fine at 240V.

Note: This is a VERY HIGH current DC power supply. It can supply a lot of juice and there is no fuse protection on the rails. So don't short them... The simple regs are current limited and the +-15V supplies outputs will be protected.

Also since I modified the board I was able to judge the pcb quality, and yes it is. Great copper traces difficult to cut, good solder mask hard to scratch, good pads. It is a very good quality board, so no need to worry.

Also all the parts I used fit just fine to pcb. Assembled correctly this board will work the first time 😀

All members paid, and I shipped all kits just a few minutes ago. Some were sent Air small parcel, some a simple envellop, depending on weight and/or destination. Please allow 5-10 working days for delivery, maybe a little more for some European countries (by experience).

Please let me know once you get the package, so I can conclude the transaction.

Thanks
SB
