Universal I/O for Power Amps
-
Published in issue 345, July 2005
This two-part circuit was designed as an addition to the 'Compact 200 W Output Stage' in this issue. But it is also suitable for use with IC amplifiers that don't have their own power-on delay. The circuit consists of an input stage (nothing more than a resistor and capacitor) and a power-on delay with a relay for the amplifier output. A small PCB has been designed for the input signal. This board contains a phono socket, capacitor and a resistor that is connected directly across the input.
Resistors:
R1 = 270k
R2 = 1k2
R3,R4 = 1M
P1 = 250k preset
Capacitors:
C1 = 4µF7 MKT or MKP (see text)
C2 = 47nF
C3 = 10µF 63V radial
Semiconductors:
D1,D3 = 1N4148
D2 = zener diode 24V 1.3W
D4 = 1N4002
T1 = BS170
Miscellaneous:
K1 = cinch socket, PCB mount, e.g. Monacor / Monarch T-709G
K2, K3 = spade terminal, PCB mount, vertical, 2 pins
RE1 = PCB relay 24 V/16 A (e.g., Omron G2R-1-24, 1100 Ohm, or Schrack RT314024, 1440 Ohm)
