Sjöström Diamond Buffer group buy

Excellent solder job except for R6 perhaps?

 

[tinitus]

Tinitus - I have ordered slightly too large 'lytic caps for C6 and C7 it's an awkward fit. Apologies for this, I may get correct ones in the new year.

guess I could have made the same mistake myself

hmm, cannot check yet

I suppose there is a delay on the board orders with parts kit

 

[peranders]

The part kits will come in January.

Well spotted Per. I re-flowed it after looking at the pics. I find a good camera close up is excellent for inspection.

Tinitus - I have ordered slightly too large 'lytic caps for C6 and C7 it's an awkward fit. Apologies for this, I may get correct ones in the new year. I would advise soldering C7 inside pin before R7 maybe.

Per's BOM specs says 8mm
and these are indeed 10mm
(specs on ordered cap says 8-10mm)
I hope it will still be possible

can I please ask to accurately measure distance between solder pads ends

would it be possible to 'bend it over', and solder one side first ?

 

[peranders]

The cap shall be 8 mm diameter to fit. It's approx. 11 mm across the pads.

 

[tinitus]

ok, thanks Per

cap is 10mm
but base plate is 11mm
and 12mm at solder pins

but 35V 100uf is ok size for other projects

 

[tinitus]

ok
I can buy 20 caps at 0.80 each = 16EUR
or
I can buy 100 at 0.20 ea = 20EUR

crazy

Yes, I had also the similar situation with the SMD resistors, would I buy 30 for €1,60 or 100 for €2,10. I went for the latter option, maybe with some other project in the future I don't need to order some values...

Hi Per,

Is it too late for this GB ?

Thanks

Hello, I have received my dozen of yellow boards during my long absence. I still need to be away from home until about next month, so building those is still in the far future.

 

[jammer55]

Received boards. Thanks for making these available.

 

[tinitus]

got mine today, thanks Per

 

[Scuba]

Thank you, P-A!
