Default Aleph 2

Hello forum

I am spirit to build the ALEPH 2.
I shall like to know if it is necessary to isolate the standard(cannon) of the IRF 9610 to go(take) up them on heatsinks, not to put them in the ground

Happy new year for all

I'm not quite sure what you mean. The fet's do not need to go on the main heatsink but should be seperate from it.

In fact ,
I put small radiators on the 9610 but I do not have to isolate the standard(cannon).
I wanted to know if it is necessary to isolate.

I think I understand now. It is good to put small heatsinks on the small fet's and you do not have to isolate them from the heatsinks, as long as they do not touch anything else.

Happy Building!

Give us some voltages. Source resistors. Where is the current you are measuring? Across the output? are you using a resistor across the output? More information please. I'm finishing up my Aleph 2's also today.

I wonder how much difference it will make to mount the
IRF9610's forming the differential pair (Q1 and Q2)
back-to-back on a single heatsink for better thermal
tracking. In this case, the devices will need to be
electrically isolated.

I have use the same diagram that "Wayne" with the same value of the components. at exit I then have a D.C. current which goes up, I quickly cut off the supply.

It sounds like a thermal problem. How big are your main heatsinks and did you match your mosfets well? How are they mounted to the heatsinks?
