PSU Addon

:warning: WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP :warning:

PSU Addon to create a stable +/-12V voltage for your case. Input can be up to 35V DC.

This is designed to be used (in my case) with a Meanwell RT65C. Input in my case will be +/-15V. But it can be used with any DC power supply, as long as you have +/-2V above +/-12V on the input.

This PSU-addon will provide a maximum of 1A on each rails ** But check the specs of the PSU you have on the input to make sure that it’ll be sufficient.

The input capacitor is oversized because I had those lying around. But you could use anything a bit smaller. Check the voltage regulators datasheet if you want to make sure.

Build Informations

Put heatsink elements on the voltage regulators, as they will get really hot during use.

:warning: When building modules, always do it in this order (from smallest component to highest):

  • diodes
  • resistors
  • Electrolytic capacitors (small ones)
  • Terminal blocks connectors
  • Voltage regulators
  • Oversized electrolytic capacitors
