My pleasure.
It would sure beat snaking and soldering a wire along the connector leads on a piece of pad-per-hole like I'm doing on the buss board I'm making.

Essentially yes - if you are having trouble wiring a number of bus boards to your PSU, the most simple solution would be to use a terminal block/barrier strip. This page of the mouser catalog has a list of them: http://www.mouser.com/catalog/637/1508.pdf
Basically you would just wire each of the terminals of your power supply to a dedicated terminal block, and in turn wire the appropriate voltage path of each of your bus boards to the appropriate block (+12V to +12V block, etc). Connect each of the terminals of the block to distribute the voltage by simply wiring them to one another or by using jumpers such as these: http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=601985-2virtualkey57 110000virtualkey571-601985-2 |

Synthesizers.com has a power harness in two different sizes.
I use those for my +-15V distribution ( it's in my euro system too )

seems to me the easiest way to get a star distribution

thats what i have for my +-12V eurobus distribution.
I have a little busboard, from there i feed the 4 ( resp. 8 )eurobus-powerboards. ( btw. made with the 50cmx10cm stripboard from Reichelt )
I don't found it good enough. My +-12V VCO had lots of problems.
I had to put it into a own 19" frame with own PSU and no modulator in the same Rack |
