Layout
Important Note: The entire solder side of the PCB is a ground plane, which will tend to absorb and redistribute heat. It is highly recommended that you use a good, temperature controlled soldering iron to assemble the board. Ordinary pen-style soldering irons may not get hot enough to make good solder connections, especially to pins that connect to the ground plane.

BOM
There are several alternatives listed below for providing a zero-crossing signal. The first choice is listed as preferred, because that is the selection that works with the Ren-T board. The second alternative is OK (requires an external low-voltage transformer). The third alternative will work also, but its use is discouraged because it requires that 110VAC be brought onto the controller board.

Cap C1
Note 1: The on-board regulator should only be used if measures are taken to keep the current consumption down (omitting the on-board LEDs, and using the non-PWM firmware). If the LEDs are used and the PWM firmware is installed, the current consumption if the board is about 1A, and so the regulator will dissipate too much power (the small value of C1 precludes decreasing the input voltage). If you are using an external PC power supply, you don't need these optional parts.
If the on-board regulator is used, omit the header that is designated for U1.
Note 2: The specified connectors for bringing in external power are 15μ Gold, you may change this if you have other preferences. Also, the molex calls for using a crimp tool. The ones in the mouser catalog are pretty expensive, and I don't know how well the Radio Shack ones will work.
Note 3: An alternative to the Molex power connectors is to use a modified, spare IDE disk drive Y-cable (or similar) as a pigtail from the board.
Revision History
7/21/2007 BOM copied from picdimmer forum, on-board regulator made optional 7/21/2007 Value of regulator parts (diode, regulator, cap) changed. 7/21/2007 Value of LED current limit resistors changed. 7/22/2007 Changed p/n of TYCO/Amp vert. mount connector to ROHS, added note about physical size problem with them. 7/24/2007 Deleted TYCO/Amp vert. mount jacks, they don't fit. Use the Molex Jacks instead. 7/24/2007 Changed value of C2, to agree with datasheet for regulator even at low temperatures. 8/07/2007 Change vendor, pn for optional 680 Ohm resistor network to one that is more readily available. 8/07/2007 Change description of 299-series resistors (previously had the wrong power rating). 8/07/2007 Created two zero-crossing alternatives. 8/12/2007 Added new zero-crossing alternative (the new alternative 2) 8/27/2007 Added Two 3-Pin headers (for J2, U1) and a 2-pin shunt (J2). 9/02/2007 Changed two part numbers (added dashes), modified note regarding on-board regulator. 10/01/2007 Changed part numbers for power connector, added notes regarding that. 10/01/2007 Fixed incorrect p/n for 3-pin header.
Construction Notes
1) The '+' leads of C1 and C2 go in the holes with the square pads.
2) The anodes of the status LEDs (long lead) go in the holes with the square pads.
3) The cathodes (the end with the band) of diodes D1, D4, and D5 go in the holes with the square pads.
4) The pin with the dot above it on the resistor network component should be installed in the square hole.
Errata for Rev XA PCB
1) The trace between J4 and D1 is too small, and needs to be beefed up if the board is configured to draw more than 1/2A through J4. 2) There are two diodes labeled D4. 3) The holes for D1 are too small. 4) The silkscreen reference designator for C3 (above U10) is missing.
