ok i let a friend use my amp hooked up and blew it, what can i use as an replacement for WFP50N06

[Perry Babin]

There are quite a few that should work. What is the value of the gate resistors?

Do you have any FETs or are you going to have to order them?

[timwebb]

the resistors are 400ohm.i have some new irf 3205 that i was thinking might work
im going order some more just got laid off so tryin to make this my main job for now.

[Perry Babin]

It's not likely that the gate resistors for the power supply FETs are 400 ohms. It's more likely that they are 47 ohms. Re-check them.

[timwebb]

yeah my bad will irf 3205 work?

[Perry Babin]

I think the 3205s will be OK.

If you need this income to pay bills, I'd suggest that you not order from ebay. You may pay more than the ebay price but you know you're getting good quality parts.

thanks man

[timwebb]

ok i changed all the fets and gate resistors but the same one keeps on blowing,what am i missing?

[brandes.cm]

Did any of the gate resistors open or the drive transistors?

Are you sure that the insulator is in good condition? Also, when is it blowing?(when powered on, when driven hard?)
