Can someone help me with wiring this power transformer? It's an Antek AS-0518 Here's it's spec page:  http://www.antekinc.com/content/AS-0518.pdf

For the primary, I'm in the U.S, so it's in parallel right? Meaning I tie together the two reds for the AC hot, and the two blacks for the AC neutral?  What about the purple (extra static shield) Would I tie that to the Chassis?

For the secondaries, parallel again? Tie the middle blue and green wires together and the outer Blue and green are my secondary leads to the power supply pcb?

Correct on the primaries

Secondaries are wired in series, tie the central Blue and Green together - make sure you are not shorting out one of the secondaries!

This combined join gfoes to 0v/Chassis ground as illustrated bit 'ct' in this diagram.

So are boards available again?

 

[JW]

Thanks Peter,

Where should I ground the electro static shield? (purple wire on the primary)

 

[peterc]

I think at the Chassis ground

 

[fragletrollet]

So are boards available again?

So I`m guessing not, that these are all people who got the old pcb?

Hi Frag

I can do another run but would need a minimum of 25 boards @ $20 each. Costs have gone up on this end.

Let me know and I will open a White market thread.

Peter

 

[fragletrollet]

I`d be up for 8... hope someone else chimes in aswell  8)

 

[TDRS]

I would commit to 8 as well.

 

[junkface]

I'll do 4

 

[junkface]

I'll do 4

or 8 if it'll get us over the minimum quicker.

Hi Junk, TDR and Flag

I have got a quote from my PCB plant, delivery to me is 10-14 working days, and shipping to you is 2-3 weeks.

So about a 6 weeks delay before you get the boards.

Is that OK with you? If so, I will order them and put up a White Market thread as soon as I receive them.

Regards, Peter

 

[TDRS]

Fantastic! Thank you Peter. 

 

[fragletrollet]

Great!

 

[JW]

Ah,

Just finished 4, so I guess I should order another 4 because they're frikkin awesome.  Junk,  if you're just ordering 8 to get past the minimum, let me know. I'll take half of those if you want, or maybe I can add 4 more Peter? Hmmmmmm

Thanks
Jon

 

[peterc]

Thanks for the support guys, I will order 40 and put them in the WM section

Peter

 

[junkface]

Thanks Peter! Jon,  I was just originally asking for 8 to get the min # up, but after some thought it's gonna be a whole lot cheaper to do 8 at once than to do 4, fall in love and do another 4 later. 

 

[jimfowler]

Any boards still available?  I see nothing in the white market.

Hi Jim

The boards have been ordered, 3 week lead time unfortunately.

I will post here as well as soon as they arrive.

Peter

 

[Le Roux]

The boards you ordered, are they 500 series?

Thanks
Neil
