Group buy: DCT03 DC trap (filter) for toroidal transformers

Thanks PA. According to the datasheet the 10A10 diodes have a 1V forward voltage at 10A. Seems relatively close to the 6A diodes which are .9V at 6A.

The diodes are OK. The ripple current is determined by the forward voltage of the diodes but I would say that any snap-in capacitor will work as long as the capacitance is high enough.

Hi Peranders do you know if it's necessary to have a fuse in series with DCT03? "CE". There is only series components so what could possible be dangerous?

If you have 10 amps fuse in the wall I think this is sufficient but if you have more than 10 amps I recommend that you add a fuse.

Hi, I bought 3 boards about a year ago and I still can't find the instruction sheet anywhere in my paypal email address or any other. Could someone please forward me a copy before I finally power this up? Looking through this thread it seems I'm not the only one.
Thanks,

Hi, I have sent you an email with links. If you post a picture I can tell you if it should work or not.

Thanks Peranders, I still need to get the wago connectors. I bought the rest from Mouser and couldn't find them there.

You can also use other brands but I have in case you are interested.
