Simple DIY Linear PSU
panoss:
I have no oscilloscope so I can't check for oscillation.
I made a list of the Power NPN transistors I have (these without any number of pieces are 1 piece):
E13009L 2PCS
E13009 2PCS (they are a lot smaller than E13009L)
BU426V
BU508A
ON4046 (PHILIPS)
BU508DF
C5027-R 2PCS
TT2146 2PCS
D13007K 2PCS
BD241C 5PCS
C5763
D1408 2PCS
BD139
CORRECTION in my previous post:
I did some tests, with no current limit:
RL= no load, Vout=16.79V
RL= 20 Ohms, Vout=14.93V, Iout=0.71A
RL= 10 Ohms, Vout=13.59V, Iout=1.26A
xavier60:
Try the two D1408 with a BC557.
Also measure the voltage drop across R10 for each load.
Extra: If the BC557 fails, try the S8550 although it has a low voltage rating and is likely to fail also.
panoss:
I have already removed the BC557 (as it was more convenient) so I will firstly try with the S8550.
panoss:
Unfortunately one of the pins of one of the D1408s was half-broken and I broke it totally...
Maybe I can use one D1408 with some other transistor?

Use one for now and don't go much more than 1A.
I notice that the voltage has been dropping by about 2.5V per amp of load. There could be a wiring mistake.
