evening all.
ive been trying to design a circuit to protect my led rear light units for use in a car which car get a variable input voltage of 11.8 to 14.6 volts so i decided to go for a voltage reduction to 5volts.
im using a rs pro k7805m-1000r3 dc to dc converter. as per the circuit for the item with capacitors (see picture attached) i suffered the capacitor on the voltage out blow up when the volts got to 10.2volts on the input side. what have i done wrong? ive attached how i did the pcb wire up.
cheers Michael
