LINEAR PSU AND REGULATOR MODULE


LINEAR PSU AND REGULATOR MODULE
This is my 120W Linear PSU,
Using a heavy full Aluminum Chassis as the Heat sink for the Regulator Module.
Fanless and Sealed to ensure the top Sound Quality.
Net weight over 8Kg,
Height 140mm,Wide 120mm,Deep 300mm.


A Linear PSU including Power Transformer and Regulator Module.
 


You could move the Regulator Module inside the Music Server also,
Of cause you have to use a Aluminum Chassis as the Heat Sink for the Regulator Module.




Separating Power Transformer will provide more options with low profile chassis for your Music Server.



You could replace the Power Transformers for the different grade of the Sound Quality also.



This is a hand made Audio Grade Regulator Module ,
One module could be single rail or dual rails DC output.
With fully heat sinking,
Single rail will offer 3.3V to 24V with 12A(max.) DC output,
Dual rails will offer 3.3V to 24V x2 with 6A each(max.) DC output.


Hand made regulator offer the reasonable lay out of the circuit,
And the lowest resistance at high current output.



Assembly with seleted audio grade components.
Compatible with Aluminum Chassis and Streacom FC5,FC9,FC10 chassis.


Fixing screw from side heat sink



Fixing screw from bottom board.
