Hi,
For some time i have worked on high voltage transistor amp.Now i
started to draw PCB , and have one question : is it better to put high voltage supply on a separate board ? It is common for electros to leak electrolyte ?

Best regards ,
Lukas.

i always build the power supply onto its own PCB, even if the rest of the amp is wired p2p..
I dont think its common for electrolytic capacitors to leak no, only if they are old, if they are leaking they should be replaced because you run the risk of them explodeing...
