Pocket Power Supply

PART NO. 2204197

This is a pocket sized power supply with a 9 volt input and a selectable output voltage. The output can be set in 1.5 volt intervals (1.5, 3,
4.5, 6) to mimic one to four 1.5V batteries. This little supply can be used at garage sales, flea markets and thrift stores to test electronics
before you buy them.

Time Required: 1 hour depending on experience


Experience Level: Beginner
Required tools and parts:
Soldering Iron & Solder
Phillips screw driver
Drill & drill bits
Wire cutters
Computer with a printer (to print cutout template)

Step 2 - Review the Schematic

Step 3 - Loading the Circuit Board


Install the components as shown in the table and schematic above. Completely solder the capacitors, resistors and voltage regulator
first. Then cut all of the leads so they are as flush as possible to the board. Next install the DIP switch, LED and battery connectors.
R6 and D1 are optional if you want to have a “power on” indicator. Finally cut the alligator clip wires to the desired length, strip the
ends and solder them to the board.

Step 4 - The Enclosure


First, print the cutouts.pdf to scale and cutout the board template. (It can also be found as the last page of this document.) Break off the
small standoff on one side of the box. Insert the paper template into this end of the box and use it to mark the cutout locations. Many
tools can be used to create the cutouts. I drilled the LED hole and the four corners on the DIP switch hole. Then I used a dremel tool to
open the square up. Last I used a flat needle file to fine tune and smooth the opening.
Step 5 - Put it All Together
Attach a 9 volt battery to the connector. The assembly should slide into the box and wedge into place. Now decide where you want
the wires to exit the enclosure and cut two small slots for them. Install the back plate and screws.

Step 6 - Operation
Switch one turns the circuit on/off
