I love living in the San Francisco Bay Area. My right brain wants me to play music, do gardening, etc. while my left brain wants me to build technical things. I
try to meet somewhere in the middle. Life is short learn something... do something!

Step 4: Parts
Although I had most of the parts, I ended up buying a few parts, such as the transformers, metal enclosure and the voltmeters. I decided to use NTE voltage regulators
because I had previously purchased them from the local Frys store.
Parts List:
S1, S2, S3: single pole, single throw, or single pole, dual throw switches, rated at 125V, 2A
TR1, TR2: 18V, 1.5A Center Tapped Transformer (Link )
TR3: 12V, 1A Center Tapped Transformer (Link )
B1, B2, B3: TL402 Bridge Rectifiers (Datasheet ), probably rated at 140V, 4A each. While these are rated higher than whats needed, I had them on hand so they were
free
LED1, LED2, LED3: Regular LEDs; I picked three colors to indicate three separate power outputs
D1, D2, D3, D4, D5: While 1N4004 (Datasheet ) would be overkill, I had them on hand
IC1: NTE956 positive variable regulator (Datasheet ). An LM317 can be used, but I had the NTE part on hand.
IC2: NTE957 negative variable regulator (Datasheet ). An LM337 can be used, but I had the NTE part on hand.
IC3: NTE960 positive 5V regulator (Datasheet ). An LM7805 can be used, but I had the NTE part on hand.
Capacitors: 1,000 uF, 100V X3, 2.2 uF, 50V X 3, 10 uF, 50V X 3, 0.1 uF, 50V X 3. While some of these are rated higher than whats needed, I had them on hand so they
were free
R1, R2, R3: 5.6K at 5Watts
Potentiometers: 5K linear (Link )
Digital Voltmeters X2: there are two common varieties available those that read 1.2V and above, and those that read 0V and above. I picked a low-cost one from
Amazon (Link ) that would read 0-200VDC. This is a three -terminal device, requiring 4.5V-30V of power and a lead to sense voltage. Note that this part can measure
only positive voltages, and to one decimal
Case: I wanted a thin metal case for grounding, and of a size that would accommodate the three transformers, leaving me room for other components. I wanted the case
to be thin enough for me to be able to drill and cut at home. Frys carries a case that worked for me ( Link )
Misc.: binding posts, screws, insulators that came with the voltage regulators, knobs for the two potentiometers, 750mA fuse and holder, IEC-C14 Socket and power
cable, hookup wire, epoxy, felt pads for the bottom of the case, tools for drilling and cutting, etc.
Software used: Omnigraffle for the Mac (Link ) for the front panel design; Eagle PCB Light for schematic capture (Link )

In Eagle 6.5.0, you can either use the "Control Panel" or go to File-> Open-> Library.

Great project!! Where did you get the pad per hole PCB that large?

one last question...why, if you said the power supply give out 1 Amp, you use a 750mA fuse?
kamalhyder says:
CharlieFaciola says:
if my line is 220v AC...Should I have to use 220v rated switches instead of your 120v?

Are you sure Eagle's library does not include your rectifier? 2KBB or 2KBB-R look like it to me.
