I think I need a little help. AC IN switch circuit.

(1/6) > >>

mkiijam:
For the 1st time I'm deciding to power a device by having the front panel ON SWITCH actually just turn on the transformer to the power supplies. In the attached schematic I think I've done everything I know, but thoughts? Should there be any relay contact protection? etc?

madires:
Is there any reason why you don't simply switch AC IN directly?

mkiijam:
Yes.

Doing so would require the AC from the AC INLET on the back to travel up to the front panel switch and cross over (or be carried on the PCB) sensitive circuits.

bostonman:
Why not just use a relay. Low voltage to the front panel and you can turn off the mains where it enters the unit.

Ummm... that's what I'm doing? I think my circuit in the attached PDF schematic does that, yes?
