:warning: **WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP** :warning:

PSU Addon to create a stable +/-12V voltage for your case.
Input can be up to 35V **DC**.

This is designed to be used (in my case) with a Meanwell RT65C. Input in my case will be +/-15V. But it can be used with any DC power supply, as long as you have +/-2V above +/-12V on the input.

This PSU-addon will provide a maximum of 1A on each rails ** But check the specs of the PSU you have on the input to make sure that it'll be sufficient.

The input capacitor is oversized because I had those lying around. But you could use anything a bit smaller. Check the voltage regulators datasheet if you want to make sure.

## BoM

[See bom](/assets/bom/PSU-addon_V1.1--iBoM.html)

You can donwload the bom in excel format [here](https://github.com/BleepSound/PSU-addon/releases/download/v1.1/PSU-addon_V1.1--BoM.xlsx)


## Build Informations

Put heatsink elements on the voltage regulators, as they will get really hot during use.

:warning: When building modules, always do it in this order (from smallest component to highest):
- diodes
- resistors
- Electrolytic capacitors (small ones)
- Terminal blocks connectors
- Voltage regulators
- Oversized electrolytic capacitors
