Labelwhore Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 First, I apologise if this has been asked and has been answered already, but I have throughly searched the forums and haven't found an answer. I'm a total noob when it comes to reading schematics, but am going to try my hand at building a midibox sid. Anyhow to get to my question, is there a parts list for the optimized PSU? I've been able to find the schematic but don't fully understand what everything on there is. Thanks in advace for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 B40C800 is a bridge rectifier.Everything with values in nF is a ceramic or polyfilm capacitor.Everything with value in uF is an electrolytic capacitor.The /\/\/\ is a resistor, value is in Ohm (that's for the LED).The power switch is a DPDT.7809 is an 7809 voltage regulator.There's really not much to it ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebula Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 If you look at the schematic where B40C800 is, you may substitute it for 4 diodes of type 1N4001, as they are shown in the schematic.A bridge rectifier is really just 4 diodes in one pretty package.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode_bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
