Universal shuntregulator, "Toolereg" NS-10 PCB-GB.

Re: Surface postal service

Please PM me if you want to use surface shipping.
Naturally this is a much slower option.

International surface mail takes approx 8 weeks, even for small packages.

Tony,
I have a trematodes respect for Jan and his work. Under the circumstances the extra wait will be truly worthwhile addition to a great design. Thanks for all the work you guys have put into this. If it would be helpful to ship to one point in the US and then redistribute I would be glad to help.

And my registered airmail from Hong Kong to Canada takes 1 month to reach a member of the forum!

Probably best to distribute to certain few members, one in each country, and have them redistribute. Shipping will be much less costly this way. Yeah I know about taxes, but you can find a way around that. The Chinese sent me hundreds of boards and they claimed the cost to be $150. I didnt ask them to mind you. But anyway, I never got taxed.

I wouldn't have thought the extra effort and time required to send it two locations would be worth the small cost saving

Just to keep you guys up to date, this is a post on the other thread.

To all,

We are moving forward quite nicely with the refinements to this regulator thanks mainly to Jan’s efforts and also to so many others that have contributed before.

Our next task is the layout of the board to meet Jan’s outlines and this work will be done by Colin which was kind enough to accept this responsibility; so in a few days we can expect results.

Cheers,

Hi Tony,
Is it still possible to add myself to the list for the Shunt Regulators?
Also, will the voltage still be adjustable?

Thanks,
West

 

[sachi]

can't wait for the regulator boards...I have a Scott Nixon DAC that is desperately in need of some clean juicly power..

 

[djmike]

put me down for two please

Hello -

I will take two when they are ironed out.

Hey all,

I've just found this GB and have been trying to catch up on all the posts. Could someone state what the specs are in terms of max/min output voltage and max current limit?

Cheers.

Hi,
you could go down to the lower limit of ~ 5V and to an upper limit determined by the voltage ratings and dissipations of the components.

It can supply from a low limit of 1mA +-1mA up to at least 200mA +-100mA but again this upper limit is determined by the ratings of the components used.

This CCS+Shunt is truly universal.

 

[sjalloq]

Thanks guys.

One other quick question as I'm new to all this and trying to learn, but what are the advantages of this regulator over the other discrete and/or enhanced IC regulators?

Is it purely a nice simple and cheap design that is aimed at bettering the performance of the IC regulators?

Oh, and if I add my name to the wiki, what is the "info email" I need to send? I think I must have skimmed past that post.

Cheers.

 

[AndrewT]

If we get it working close to the simulated results then it offers far better HF performance than any of the IC regulators.

The CCS part makes it damage free if short circuited.

It is potentially very low noise.

Hi All,

I'm looking for a very stable DC varible power supply to drive my 6V Maxon A-max motor driving my TT.
would this regulator do the job?

THanks

[AlanElsdon]

Count me in as well

Could you please put me down for 8 regulator boards, and 2 NS-10 boards.

Alan

 

[wirewiggler]

You need to edit the wiki to be added. This has been quite for some time is the group buy still on?

thanks
Bill

Bill - I did that before recording the fact on the thread - perhaps my wording could have been better

[wirewiggler]

I should have looked, to answer my own questions I looked at the original thread and it looked like they are having some issues with oscillating. It will be worth the wait.

Hello Dennis,
As per you GB post, I've sent you an email for the purchase of 2x NS10 and 10x Toole Reg PCBs.

I've also added those details to the wiki.

A big thank you for all those involved in the GB.

Kind regards,

alex
