How to Build a Bench-Top Power Supply

Step 4Dry Fit the Components

Dry Fit the Components
Your going to want to lay everything out on the perfboard before you solder it. Your welcome to use my layout. One is normal and one is reversed so you can see where the components are when you are looking at the soldered side. The black dots show where the pins go through the board. The black lines are copper traces. The red lines are solder bridges. I got the templates from runoffgroove.com.

At this point, your also going to want to bend the copper traces. Use the wire strippers to strip all of the insulation off of a length of wire, and bend them to the correct length. Bend all copper traces except for the ones that lead to the terminal strip. These are more easily added after all the other components have been soldered.
