Circuitron Snapper Switch Machine Power Supply ~ 5303

The CIRCUITRON SNAPPER™ is an advanced design, solid state
controlled switch machine power supply. Operating from an AC supply of 25 volts or less, the
SNAPPER™ provides positive, snap-action power to all dual-coil type switch machines while
providing total protection from burnout.

CIRCUIT DESIGN: The SNAPPER™ is a capacitor discharge circuit with a SCR controlled
recharge. This design allows high power storage within the capacitor without sacrificing
recharge time. With a 24 volt AC input, the SNAPPER™ should be able to activate between 5
and 10 coils if they are all connected to the same control.

INSTRUCTIONS: The SNAPPER™ can be connected with .110″ solderless connectors or by
soldering leads directly to the terminals on the printed circuit board. If soldering, use a small
pencil-type iron and electronics-grade rosin core 60/40 solder (available at Radio Shack). Use
only as much heat as necessary to obtain a good joint and do not wiggle the terminal until the
solder has cooled completely.
Connect two wires from the terminals marked [IN] to the accessory terminals of a power pack or
any SMALL 25 volt or less transformer. If the SNAPPER™ is to be used with a large power
pack or transformer rated 1 amp or greater, the current limiting resistor should be installed in one
of the [IN] lines as shown in the diagram. With transformers rated less than one amp, the
resistor is unnecessary. Connect the terminals marked [OUT] to the switch machine controls
with 18 gauge or heavier wire. A section of Printed Circuit Mounting Track [PCMT] is included
for simple snap-in mounting of the assembly.
