Generation meter detector circuit component list

I am listing the CPC part numbers – no other reason than I listed Maplin last time, so it’s time to give another company an airing.

 

Power Supply

It is intended that the power supply for this circuit is taken from the +7.5V supply of the Owl Direction Circuit.  However any DC voltage supply between 7 and 12V can be used.

Power Supply Connector CPC either AV15151, AV15145, AV15563 – depends on how you wish to position the socket

Accessories

I would recommend using sockets for the ICs.

            Type                Quantity         CPC number

            16 pin                     1                   SC08118

            14 pin                     1                   SC08117

Solder pins make ideal means of connecting wires to the circuit board. Maplin number FL24B for pack of 100.  You’ll need up to 9.

Wire links.  I use the wire cut off from the resistors after they have been soldered to the circuit board as the wire links.

Track cutter.  I would recommend using the spot face cutter CPC PC01227
