Hello
I have a Question about the thermostatic Switch in Aleph Amps
Is it a "you canot kill this Amp even if you take it to the Dessert and listen to your music whith 60 degree outside tempratur" decision, or is it " I dont want you to burn down your House if something fails" decision ?? :cool: :hot: :redhot:
In other words, is it save to leave it out or is it nessesary to have it ???? And what cold be the failiure where I need it ??? |

The answer is both.
With the proper fuse value, it should not be possible to
ignite something like cheesecloth (the standard material)
under any failure mode in a properly designed product.
This of course presumes that the consumer has not put a
20 amp fuse in the product.
At the same time, we have been able to confirm that amplifiers
do not tend to blow up when sinks reach 75 deg C., which is
the value we specify.
We do commonly encounter consumers who run the product in
a closed box or on top of another one or more of our amplifiers. |

Thermostatic isn't a company, it's just saying that the switch functions like a thermostat. Parts catalogs abound in such things. Use any equivalent part that suits you.

Look in Mouser under 'thermostat'. They are made by Stancor.
Thermal cutouts are hard to find anymore because everyone is reducing parts count, using electronics monitoring of heat or just don't care!
(Page 1624 of catalog 629, search for 'Stancor Snap Action Disc Thermostats'). |
