PS8 Power Supply
 

The PS-8 is a combination unregulated high voltage and low voltage regulated filament power supply for vacuum tube preamps. It includes a laminated or toroid power transformer and a circuit board providing a rectified and filtered high voltage of 280 to 350Vdc and filament voltages of 6 or 12Vdc. A voltage dropping resistor is provided that can be jumpered for higher voltages when using a voltage regulation stage or replaced with a filter choke for added filtering. Without the voltage dropping resistor, the PS-8's maximum output is approximately 350Vdc.

Here is a picture of the assembled circuit board.  This is our part number PS-8A.

The high voltage section uses ultra-fast rectifier diodes, with a snubber network for reduced noise, followed by 440uf of filtering capacitance and a Solen bypass capacitor.

The filament supply section uses Schottky rectifier diodes followed by a low noise Linear Technology voltage regulator circuit.  Our transformers can supply voltage for 6 volt filaments.  If you require 12 volts, order the PS8 without the transformer and provide your own.

The circuit board is double-sided with solder mask and silkscreen printing.  We provide 3/8" standoffs and hardware for each corner.

See schematic diagram below.
