The simplistic Salas low voltage shunt regulator

Used instruments on eBay. If you're lucky you can "steal" a Leader 120B for 60-70€ + shipping. I got mine years ago for more or less that amount. A friend of mine recently got a HP 3310B for 85 €

The HP 239A is more espensive, but if I find one.....
Specs: just enough! 😉

I personally prefer real instruments rather than pc stuff.
 
Hi Ken, could you be so kind to post (or send me by p.m.) the ExpressPCB files (.SCH and .PCB)?
I'm lazy... (and I like to play with toner transfer...)

Thanks in advance

Guido,

On the condition that the next time I'm in Bergamo you'll buy me a double espresso 😉

Here you go, I've only made the positive voltage version so far. Just rename the files and remove the ".txt" from the name.

No warranties express or implied....

Ken

I assure you that 10cm is very long for virtually making the reg ''one thing'' with the load. You will see that when you will apply remote sensing even the thicker cable you use now will ''shine'' with its absence.

2200 is enough for the current you need. Its a matter of cap quality what you will prefer in the end.
 
Hmm don't tell me so about Rs😡, still I'm waiting the resistors but Easter time all in delay so I don't know when I will receive the resistor to do Rs. About cables, better cable: "no cable", next time Salas regs. will share same pcb together Salas Phono RIAA😀.

I have in mind to change the box so the regs. will be the more near possible (less than 1 cm or so) to the phono RIAA, but 1st need to ultimate the Rs & who knows the reg. V1.2 if finally I can manage the oscilloscope🙂.

Now I remembered was Michael Percy who tell me about caps, thanks to confirm Salas now I will try 2200 in PS.
