Has anyone built a STEPS for 230V ? - Page 2

post #16 of 21
You might look at the schematic for examples of output voltages and the necessary resistors.

Also, C2 is available from Mouser, it just wasn't when Tangent put that table together years ago. C6 is also available, you just have to search harder for it since the part number isn't the same as it was years ago.

C2

ECQ-U2A222ML Panasonic Film Suppression Capacitors

C6
BFC237011104 Vishay/BC Components Polyester Film Capacitors

You should double check those too, I was working pretty quickly but that looks right to me.

Fantastic. Thanks! The schematic! Of course.

I owe you one!

1200V ???

Where could i source that? I was gonna use this.

Me and a buddy assembled two Steps PSUs today, and they worked like a charm right off the bat. ..Even without 1200V R3s. Is that really necessary?

I don't know what he's talking about with the 1200 V business. I think you should be fine with the 1/4 W resistor you linked to.
