PCB – Solid-State B+

Goals
– passive supply
– full-wave SiC or tube option
– two LC/RC networks

Parts
– SiC diodes + heatsinks
– 700V MKP caps
– holes for power resistors (RC)
– screw terminals for chokes (LC)
– holes for e-Choke MEC50/MEC100 (LC)

Schematic for the B+ pretty much done. A connector for D1/CT/D2 will allow the use of a tube rectifier instead should I ever want one; just omit the two SiC diodes and 10nF caps. The first filter cap is listed as 1-20µF, I can tune the voltage with that, but according to PSUD2 I should end up at around 5-10µF there.


Also working on a setup to couple signal ground to Earth (PE) and reduce any kind of hum or ground loops. Added some extra connectors to allow for a central ground hub.
