chipamp capacitor specific questions LM3886 stereo for guitar amp

Zappacat · 30th November 2009, 08:22 AM

I'm starting to get the pieces together for my LM3886 stereo guitar amp. I'm using the stereo lm3886 PCB's at chipamp.com. While trying to source the parts at digikey I've run into a problem. Several of the required parts in the bill of materials call for "compact metal film resistors". This doesn't fall into any of the capacitor categories at digikey. Are these types of resistors known as something else?

Is this the same thing as "through hole resistors"?

Thanks!

These are through hole resistors, then select Metal Film from the composition list.

Resistor is not the same as capacitor. They are completely two different things. The "compact metal film resistors" are located under "through hole resistors" at digikey. A word of advise though, please be very very careful when you are assembling it (electricity can kill). If you are in doubt, please ask the forum or someone else with good experience before you do it. Download the assembly manual from chipamp.com, it provides a good reading prior to assembly. Have fun.
