Hi Paul,
On input, short the -phase to AG and use +phase and AG, only use AG and +phase on output, do not short the -phase to AG on output.
Ciao!

Has anyone seen these on eBay?
What do you think, real or fake?

I contacted eBay a while back and learned they are now blocking third party links due to liability issues. If you copy the text as text - without ebay at the end - and paste it to your browser search box some results can be found. Still a bit of searching necessary.

Hi Paul,
If you short - input to GND you will cancel the action of the servo. JC80 is single ended input as it was on John's design. The chinese PCB is balanced input, but with servo acting on the - input.
Just use the (+) input and (+) output and you'll be fine. I am doing the same since almost one year although I have balanced amplifier and using both outputs since november.
Cheers!
I observe it is more than one year since last post here, but I will try anyway.
Did anyone use this PCB from Jim's?
How to mount the heatsinks for the MOSFETs is not entirely obvious.

Hi Rønningstad,
It is an interesting new layout as metallicus69 is pointing out! They would be mounted under the board and the hole should be big enough to pass a screw and plastic isolator washer. I would put the board flush against the surface where it will officially be, take a marker through the screw holes to mark the screw hole positions then drill and tap. You will then have to bend the legs of the transistors to the upright position to go back on the PCB. I would do one or two transistors at a time, solder, unscrew and then do the next ones.
Here's some examples
Don't install this on a 1-2mm thick aluminum, it will get too hot once biased.
Let me know how this new JC-80 performs!
Ciao!

I see, it requires a very thick bottom plate - heat sink - to cool the MOSFETs against. Or alternatively largish heat sinks on the PCB underside.
I am not sure I like this approach, however Jim is almost sold out of the first version (with the heat sinks standing on the PCB component side).
Thanks.

when the screw is tightened the transistor tends to turn and strains the leadouts and solder joints.
It is extremely difficult due to the transistor being under the PCB to hold it and prevent this turning as you tighten down.
Instead if you place a thin, maybe 1mm washer plate across all 4 devices and insert temporary screws in the open holes, then tighten the screw down on the installed devices. You get a straight down clamping action and the washer plate acts as the washer shown in the pic.

A, B & C grade are the equivalents to the Toshiba gr, bl & v grades.
Some time recently Linear introduced the D grade to the range.
If his "matched Idss" are the new Dgrade then they are likely to not be fakes.
If you look back at my testing you will see what I referred to as C+ grade because then Linear did not have a D grade. They stopped at C the equivalent to the 12mA to 20mA V grade from Toshiba.
