5 volt power supply

Posted by: andrew ()

Date: June 26, 2003 09:10PM

parts:
U1 LM7805 +5 VDC Voltage Regulator
BR1 4 amp bridge rectifier
T1 12.6 volt, 1.2 amp ac transformer
F1 2 amp slow-blow fuse
S1 SPST toggle switch
R1 270 ohm resistor
C1 3,000 uF electrolytic capacitor, 35 volt min.
C2 100 uF electrolytic capacitor, 35 volt min.
LED1 Light Emitting Diode
MISC. fuse holder, heat sink for U1, binding posts, ac cord with plug, chassis

all resistors are 5 or 10 percent tolerance, 1/4-watt
all capacitors are 10 percent tolerance
Please operate caution when building this power supply. It is run on, I believe, 120v ac current (standard US wall outlet) - and under the right circumstances 120 ac can kill you. Use a plastic enclosure if possible to decrease chances of short-circuiting. Don't use the power supply if it's wet, and never run it without the specified fuse

Hey,

I found this site from googling 5v power supplies, I was going to order the parts and didn't find a 4A Bridge rectifier. I went back to check the schematic and in the picture it has a 1A ontop the bridge rectifier. Could someone that build it already or knows off hand, tell me weather i should get a 1amp bridge rectifier instead?

Thanks
