Ok , i've ordered the second one as it will be easier to mount close to the LS 150 with it's screw hole , I don't have any push type connectors though, would soldering to the terminals be ok ?
Hi , I expect to receive the bridge rectifier tomorrow ( Fri 17th) and have the capacitors already so I now need to know how to connect them to the LS150 , I will as I said be using soldered wires to connect everything up but need to know the following info - which output terminals should I use on the LS150 ? I assume it will be just 2 ? with 2 wires going from the LS's output terminals to the bridge rectifier and 2 wires going from the BR to the uncouplers incorporating a capacitor across the exit wires ( in parallel ) , those 2 wires which will terminate at the uncoupler/s with each wire being duplicated as there are 2 uncouplers , the capacitor has no + marking on it but does have a silver stripe on it's case which seems to have a negative dash printed on it ? , I think i've covered it all as regards questions but if you spot something i've missed then please tell me .Either four 1N5400 series diodes, eg. a 3A - 5A or higher arranged as a bridge, or an off-the-shelf bridge rectifier.
The specifications are not in any way critical as long as it's rated well above the supply voltage and somewhat highr than the load current.
eg. something like these:
KBU4K-E4/51 | Vishay Bridge Rectifier, 4A, 800V, 4-Pin | RS

Or like these - massive overkill ratings-wise, but that makes them pretty bombproof, they are easy to connect to with crimp pushon terminals so good for experimentation - and they are cheap!
The outputs have a joint protection mechanism against overload. If the permissible maximum power is exceeded, the LS150 will switch off the terminal ("+" or "-" of an output) which experienced the short-circuit. You can tell that a blocked status is existent by the fact that the LED does not shine although a command was received for this output.
