Bourns 601 Series - RC Network T-Filters

This is a recreation the discontinued Bourns 4120R-601-250/201 DIP used on the Macintosh SE and Macintosh SE/30. The filter chip also goes by the model numbers M/C 8908L 115-0002, CRL 8743L 115-0002 or P9120M115-0006.

Pictures of the chips:

Even though the Kicad and EasyEDA files are geared towards the 4120R-601-250/201 specifically, the capacitor and resistor values can be changed to make other discontinued Bourns 601 Series filters:

Part Number Resistor Value Capacitor Value
4120R-601-101/101 100 ohm 100 pF
4120R-601-101/181 100 ohm 180 pF
4120R-601-101/201 100 ohm 200 pF
4120R-601-250/101 25 ohm 100 pF
4120R-601-250/181 25 ohm 180 pF
4120R-601-250/201 25 ohm 200 pF
4120R-601-250/500 25 ohm 50 pF
4120R-601-270/101 27 ohm 100 pF
4120R-601-270/201 27 ohm 200 pF
4120R-601-270/500 27 ohm 50 pF
4120R-601-470/101 47 ohm 100 pF
4120R-601-470/201 47 ohm 200 pF
4120R-601-470/500 47 ohm 50 pF
4120R-601-820/101 82 ohm 100 pF
4120R-601-820/201 82 ohm 200 pF
4120R-601-820/500 82 ohm 50 pF

Manufacturing

The release includes the manufacturing files for JLCPCB specifically for a 8 column and 3 row panel. The pick and place file includes all the components already placed for the panel. I recommend a PCB thickness of 1mm or less if you do panelization to make the PCBs easier to separate.

When you place an order with JLCPCB the Delivery Format should be Panel by Customer . The Panel Format should be Column: 8 and Row: 3. The PCB Thickness should be 1mm.

The PCB preview should look like this:

For the Bill of Materials part of the order where you upload the BOM and Pick and Place files there is an option at the bottom called File provided as. You should select Complete File, just proceed with my own files since the pick and place file has all the component placements for the panel.

If you had selected everything properly you should have a minimum of 1920 resistors and 960 capacitors for a minimum order of 5 panels. JLCPCB may add a few extra resistors or capacitors to the quantities.

The assembly preview should also show all the components in the right spots. Ignore the fact that the cuts in between the individual PCBs of the panel don't show up in the component placement preview. This is normal when doing the panelization with EasyEDA.

Note: If you need the gerber files, BOM or component pick & place in a different format then you would have to generate them yourself.
