Top man for replying so fast as usual Salas thankyou
It works better with Rf fitted doesn't it!
Success on first flick of the switch. 12v ac in for 12v out as a test. Will be for opamps in a dac so may use a 15vac for 12vdc out. I used 4r7 for R1 for 60ma load.
Screwed to an aluminium channel....see how that works.

Nice with the weird sink.
Would have been nice to orient the sink vertically so it acted like a heat tunnel.
But looks like it is a shade too narrow to bridge the two mosfets and you may not have had the height in the chassis.
Is it hot to the touch?

I could have just squeezed them on in the other orientation but would have meant drilling blind holes into the web of the adjacent side.
Mildly warm..25C measured with ambient 16C. Been on for one hour with no load so maybe I can afford to up the CCS.
I have a small 40mm fan but not looking necessary at the moment
Correction....R1 is 4r3.

So I was going to say that 4r3 isn't providing enough current for 2 opamps, which surprised me. Positive rail sagged to I think 5v and neg rail collapsed to as good as zilch.
This was with a pair of 1612s on dip adaptors in a dac but now I suspect them as faulty. I have used them before in an Ian Canada IV stage.
Tried a pair of vanilla 5532 (JRC 2114) and the rails are now good.
But......heatsinks are cold. Well they are 5C above ambient approx. And I have yet to load in the analogue pins of 2 x AD1862. So I shall lower R1 for more CCS

Have spare current that gives +10C on ambient. Such a difference is well tolerated in builds.

Current limit section is a good monitor beyond its isolation service. Saves from shorts and indicates problems. Just like a lab PSU.
