Solution
Four Output Isolated Power Supply
First, some notes about electrical safety.
This project uses wall AC power, the DANGEROUS stuff. Please follow the recommendations below when building this project.
Use a 3 prong AC cord and make sure the green wire safety ground is connected solidly to the enclosure.
Keep in mind there is 120 VAC on some of the traces! Mount the PC board on round or hex standoffs at least a ¼ inch high by at least ¼ inch diameter with 6-32 threads. DO NOT use adhesive back plastic standoffs, they are not reliable or strong enough for a board with two transformers on it!
You must use a strain relief for the AC cord. This prevents the cord from getting cut on the sharp edges of the metal enclosure and also prevents the cord from getting ripped off the PC board.
Electrically, this is a very simple circuit times four. Transformer, to bridge rectifier/cap, to regulator with filter cap on regulated output, to the jacks.
The transformer should be selected to provide some margin for voltage drop across the regulator. The PCB layout assumes use of readily available Split Pack PCB mount transformers, which are available in a wide range of voltages. The following table summarizes my recommendations. Note that each transformer provides 2 voltage sources, since the 2 secondary windings are isolated and can be used independently. The Mouser catalog page does not state this (it shows series and parallel connections), but it works fine.
