A186-1 OR COMBINER MODIFICATION

A186-1 OR COMBINER MODIFICATION

2015-09-22 by rrkrdo@yahoo.co.uk

Hi

Is it possible to modify the A186-1 OR Combiner so it could be two 4 IN 1 OUT combiners instead of one 8 IN 1 OUT combiner?


How ?


Many Thanks


Ricardo

the schematic of A-186 is on the module page: A-186



You probably just need to cut the traces and replicate the end of the circuit (position 8) on (postion 4) to create 2 "3 in 1 out" circuits.

You could probably also modify a a-180 Multiples to do the same thing.

If you are familiar with electronics this should be no problem. The simple schematics is shown on the info page of the A-186-1 on
our website. You have to interrupt some pcb tracks, re-wire some sockets and add a second pull down resistor for the second unit.
But as there are only 8 sockets available you can realize only two 3-in-1 combiners. I'd interrupt the pcb in the middle (between
socket #4 and #5). Then the lower 4 sockets are already a 3-in-1 combiner. Then you have to modify the upper section so that it's a
copy of the lower section (i.e. replace diode #4 by a wire and add the second 10k pull down resistor for the upper unit).
