Description
The Eurorack Stripboard is the most convenient way to build a simple DIY Eurorack synthesizer module. It works like a standard protoboard, but with specific additions for the Eurorack format. You can also use the Stripboard with the 4HP Front Panel.
- You can place up to 5 potentiometers or 5 jack connectors on the dedicated locations. The potentiometers can be any of 9 or 16 mm types, Alpha PKN160 for example. The Jack connectors are Cliff S6/BB mono style.
- With the Eurorack power supply interface, it's extremely easy to connect either a 16-pin or a 10-pin Eurorack power connector.
- The clear and detailed silkscreen labels indicate where the different voltages are located on the PCB. You can also add 2 filtering capacitors and 2 protection diodes.
How to connect jacks and potentiometers
The jack connectors are Cliff CL1384. They use the strips A, B, D and E.
A and B are switched open when the male jack connector is inserted. D and E are the contacts to the male connector.
- E is Tip (the signal)
- and D is Ring (usually the 0V reference, often designated as “ground”).
Note that Cliff jacks are insulated from the panel.
The potentiometers are 9 mm (2.5 mm pin pitch) or 16 mm (5 mm pin pitch). Alpha 9 mm are a good choice. They align pretty nicely with Cliff jacks on the front panel. They connect to strips B, C and D.
- B is Counter Clock Wise pole.
- D is Clock Wise pole.
- and C is Wiper pole.
Dimensions
The PCB is 100 mm high and 50 mm wide. Thus, the depth for the Eurorack module will be 50 mm behind the panel.
