I just finished soldering up a smaller modular phantom power board.

I did look into making the 12v -> 48v boost converter side without IC's ( discrete components ) but it would have been to large for what I need. I tested on a dummy load and can produce 134mA 47.5V without the board warming up over long periods.
I've started to use thinner circuit boards now to to reduce weight. I should have used 1.27mm headers for this board. I went against it thinking its a power board but at maximum 134mA a smaller header would have been fine.
This is just the start of shrinking all my proto boards down !
Next is the dual +/-5v and +/-15v boards and new smaller preamp boards with end cutouts for the DC blocking caps :)
