PCB SCHEMATIC

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SCHEMATIC

Diodes LED

This PCB has 2 positions to place the diode led. You only need to place LED1 or LED2.

R3 is the current limiter for LED1 and LED2. Choose the value according to the brightness of the led. Recommended values are 2.2k – 4.7k for regular LEDs.

LED3 lights up when the circuit is connected to the power supply. You can mount this diode on the side of the enclosure. This LED is optional, if no need it, dont need to place R1.

Power supply

Capacitors C1 and C2, in combination with R2, filter the noise from the power supply. To omit this filter, don’t place C1 and C2, and substitute R2 by a jumper.

Diodes D1 and D2 are placed for reverse polarity protection. If the effect PCB already has inverse polarity protection, don’t place D2, and substitute D1 by a jumper.

D1 and R2 will drop the voltage at the effect PCB. To keep the voltage of the original power supply, substitute D1 and R2 by jumpers.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS

Resistors

The resistors should be ¼ Watt metal type. You can either use a multimeter or the color bands to obtain their values. Resistors do not have polarity, you can place them in any direction.

Electrolytic capacitors

Electrolytic capacitors have their value printed on them. The negative polarity pin is indicated by a white strip along the can. They also have a longer leg indicating the positive pin. The maximum voltage rating never can be exceeded, make sure you are using at least double voltage rating than your power supply. For example, if you are using a 9V power supply, use a electrolytic capacitor with at least 18V maximum voltage rating.

Polyester capacitors

The polyester capacitors have their value marked with three numbers. Read as picofarads (pF), the first two are the 1st and 2nd digits and the third is the multiplier code. These capacitors do not have polarity, you can place them in any direction.

Diodes

Diodes have their model printed on them. The polarity (cathode) is indicated by the ring near the side. This ring is also marked on the PCB.

Led diodes

Led diodes have polarity, the cathode is indicated as a flat surface on the side of the diode and also it is the shorter led. On the PCB, the cathode is marked as a flat side and anode as a round side.
