I particularly like the "family" look of post528. Nice !
Except for the bluleds

Thank you, Andrew.
If you have a look at "Pictures of your diy Pass amplifier" you will see Aleph J, Aleph P1.7 and ONO in the "family" look and blue led as well

Low coloration mini monitors with Scandinavian drivers then. With how many Watt they get happy? Are they low sens & low impedance?

You could cut 3/4 of the lenth of them away and they would be doing the same for your heat disipation.

Look back at post #501 to see how to mount the heatsinks more efficiently.

If you are only running at 100mA or so then it probably wont hurt as the MOS-FETs will be running fairly cool anyway.

With the 10R resistors in the photo the MOS-FETs don't really need any heatsink at all. I've just been experimenting with 3R0 and 4R7. At 3R0 even the 2E heatsinks that I used are barely sufficient and the MOS-FETs are running too hot for my liking - allbeit only about 55 Degrees C. I haven't tried the 4R7s yet as I'm enjoyiong it too much.

Stock for suitable relays are becoming more difficult to find.

Has consideration been given to this for the future?

Is EA2-12-DC12V equivalent to EA2-12NJ-DC12V?

I think the "NJ" designator is for "trimmed leads" and would have no affect upon function.

They seem to still be commonly available from the far east on E-Bay.

NEC EA2 series? Those are compatible and can even arguably have the best contact quality.

[Salas]

NJ means trimmed leads type says in their datasheet. It normally means some legs formation style, but they don't show it. You got to get a sample or they send you a picture first to see if its a problem.

I have finished this project and i have the following problem on the first test: on the negative rail the group of 5 leds is not lit and the paraleled group of resistors becomes hot very fast (few seconds). Any clue where to look ?

[Salas]

Leds orientation/health.

[atupi]

Checked! Leds are fine and well positioned. On the working rail i have around 2v across 5 leds group and on the non working rail around 10v.

Think i've found the problem: some reading error conducted me to install IRFP9240 instead of IRFP240.
