Analogue Systems distribution boards

Since a large portion of my modules are Analogue Systems, which use a different 16-pin power connector and different pin-out, I needed a solution for mounting them in the Doepfer case. Analog Haven sells adaptor boards, but the large number of modules I have required something more elegant.

 

The Doepfer power boards have crimp-style lugs for +/-12v, (inactive) 5v, and gnd. Given that, it was simple to DIY boards that connect to these lugs and route these lines to Analogue Systems-style power connectors. They are mounted into the case using 3M adhesive squares, which are quite sturdy. Also, since Analogue Systems modules require 5v that the Doepfer power supplies don't generate, I added a 5v regulator circuit onto the DIY busboard to generate this line. The surplus Analogue Systems board I also mounted in the case generates this on it's own when you wire in the 12v line.

 

Lastly, I have a couple Doepfer modules that needed 5v power as well, so I made a home-spun equivalent of the Doepfer low-cost 5v adaptor, which is really just a 5v regulator circuit on a Doepfer-style power connector that feeds the 5v back on to the power distribution board.
