Re: replacing 1/8-1/4 inch jakhs w/ banana - part2

2004-10-16 by Robert Roesler

Hi Andrew,

The power supply I have used (I have two, both the same) is the PS1 model number HBB15-1.5-A, Digi-Key part number 179-2068-ND on the link you provided. One powers all my MOTM modules (contained in one cabinet) and the other powers my blacet and DIY modules. One of these P.S.’s (+/- 15 volts @ 1.5 amps is beefy enough for quite a few modules).

It should also be noted that the power supply “Grounds” that you strap together is the DC ground, not the AC ground.

Thanks for all the replies. Would the following be true...

1 - Disconnect the hot lead from the 1/8 or 1/4 and connect to the newly installed banana jack.
2 - Remove the ground wire as needed.
3 - Connect a ground wire from the power supply of unit (A) to the ground of Serge power supply (black jack on power box)
4 - Remember that any normalled connections on unit (A) may not work correctly with this update.

As an fyi, making smaller holes bigger is pretty easy with a good steel bore-reamer hand held. It is a V shaped tool that you insert and turn with your hand and it shaves off layers of metal, like an apple peeler. You need to be VERY careful that you don't make the holes TOO BIG, bit if you are careful it is an easy way to enlarge the holes without taking everything apart. Laos need to be careful of the metal shavings that fall off so as not to short anything out!

Lastly, I was looking at Power One supplies at digikey located here...

Anyone know WHICH one of the many supplies listed would provide +/- 15v supply for say 8 blacet, modcan modules etc? Thanks again for any replies!

Keep on Patchin'!
