I realized after I got my transformers that I got 41PG006, which is actually PC mount. Would have been better to get transformers with hookup wire already on them because i want to mount them to my metal stud and I don't know how to etch a PC board, nevermind one that will support 12 huge transformers. Any idea of how I can safely work with these?

You could try slipping tubing onto the primary leads and hoping. It's always going to be more dangerous, though.

Actually, I'd call Mouser customer service and tell them I fouled up the order. I bet you can return them for credit against the right ones. They have been very helpful to me like that on occasion.

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.

Well, what I ended up doing was calling and replacing 10 of them with the right number (the ones rated at 100 mA). The two I bought to be rated at 300 mA have already arrived, so it may be a burn for me to mail them back. I might just have to order a new pair.
