Well, after being fairly lazy about trying to sort this out I guess I have the time to try and sort through this now, so here it goes.
What I will be doing here is offering up a board very similar to that which was made last time round which will accommodate a set of ultra fast switching diodes (either dual TO-247 devices, or single TO-220) along with a snubbing network and space four heat sinks etc.
There will be some minimum order numbers which I will have to hit before this becomes worthwhile doing though, which would be 100 of the PCB’s and at least 25 full set’s of component kits (although again like last time I will try and supply the spade PCB connectors as I’m not sure how easy these will be for people to et hold of individually)
You can see a picture of the board in an assembled state at the end of this little lot of text, and I will include a description of the components which would be in the kit on the wiki page which I will go and set up now to try and gauge interest in doing this again, but if any people have any questions about things then feel free to post on here and I will try and answer them as quickly as possible (which also goes for the pricing which I will have to go off and work out for the component kits now, but which would probably remain at £4 per PCB as it was last time so long as the board house don’t’ charge me any more this time).

Just one more picture to give a clearer look at teh PCB and show the alternate method for cooling if you want to put a lot of current through the diodes.
EDIT:
Ok, here is the link to the new wiki page, it doesn't have much information on it yet, as most of that can be found in the old threads (or you could ask here) and I have to head out now so it may be added at a later date if this looks like it will take place again.

I only want to remind you that your insulation distances are too small. I recommend that you increase them to 1 mm or more. Calculate for max voltage 200 volts at least.
You may also place the pads in zick-zack so you get more space. What don't you place the e TO220 devices a bit from the heatsink. It's easier to bend these TO220's compared to the TO247's. |

Thanks for starting up this thread :)
Before signing up in the wiki I would like to know if it's possible like the last time to get the kit without diodes and if so what the price will be?

| bigparsnip |
| As long as there are sufficient order numbers to hit the price cuts that I need to place the orders I should have no problems with people taking the components they want for the boards. However, as I doub't this will be as large an order as last time if it does go through, it will probably work out a little more for some of the components, so you could expect I think a price of around £9.00 for a PCB and all of the componets apart from the diodes (although this could be a bit more if I can't get the parts from the same sources as last time) |

Hey this is just what the doctor ordered... I've been looking for a high speed diode set for my Aleph 1.2s I'm building. I guess this is it???
Tell me....I'm using a 2000VA 50v dual primary toroid and 6 72,000uF caps to make a CRCpi type PSU with some resistors inbetween the first four 72KuF caps and the last two 72KuF caps. Is this the fastest switching setup I could get for my project?
What is the difference between this and a "hexfred" setup? I am told by a good friend of mine that I should use 8 hexfred high spped diodes in TO247 cases. I see from the picture that there are four per PCB.....if I'm using dual primaries, then could I benefit from using one of these boards (4 diodes) per primary out from my trannie? In other words two PCB setups per chassis?
Sounds good. Someone school me and I'll be in.
Thanks

Hi, as this is a fairly generic PCB allowing you to use any suitable connected single TO-220 or double TO-247 diode type package you should be able to find a device which will do what you want it to for your amp (the diodes that were in the kits last time were the ones that are used int he PASS labs amplifiers so they should be a good starting point for you to look at).
Also, the way the PCB is configured, it is equaly possible to use one or two of them for a single supply (so long as you have dual secondaries on your transformer which it looks like you have) depending on what you fancy putting into your amp.
Anyway, hope this has answerd your questions, but if it's not specific enough, just let me know and I'll try to clarify things a bit more.

OK silly newbie question time again!
Why can't centre tapped transformers be used with this board? |
|
|
| Clarkcr |
Right...I'll have dual secondarys...so while I'm spending the big bucks, I might as well get two of these PCB per trannie right? I'll use TO247 diodes and I should have an ultra fast low drag bridge right???
Aside from physical size characteristics, is there a difference bewteen the TO220 and the TO247? I take it either style will work? What stats am I looking for in a diode? Some say fast, others say ultra fast. One such example is a "Fairchild Ultrafast REcovery" TO-220 with Max v of 600 but after that, the stats on each are a mystery to me. Tell me which ones are important to me. I know I need at lease 60 volts...that's what my rail votage will be.
Tell me if I'm way off here. Sorry about the newbie questions.

You can very easily use a centre tapped transformer with one of these boards, it's just that if you want to be extravagent and use two boards in one power suply then you should have proper dual secondaries.
And Clarkcr, the main advantage of the TO-247 devices is that they can generaly handle far higher curents than the TO-220 devices (as well as dissipating more power from the larger package) so in larger supplys like it sounds you have for your aleph both of these things could be considered benifits. Also, Personaly I would always try and over rate the voltge on the parts I am using in an application like this to double the voltage that they will generaly have applied to them (so in your case I would go with a minumum of 100V, but probably a lot more, just to give a bit of protection against any possible short voltage spikes which may get passed through the transformer from the mains). Other than that, from what people seem to have said on here it is quite often a matter of preference as to what sort of diode to go for, although getting a decent part from a technical point of view can have benifits too. |
|
|
| Clarkcr |
Thank you for your help. I have a couple more questions on diodes though:
Some are faster than others correct? If so, how do I tell when looking up their stats which are faster than others? In the Mouser catalog I have, they have all kinds of stats on these, none of which (except max voltage) do I have a clue what they mean
Also, is there a difference between dual secondarys and dual primarys? I might have made up "dual primariys" in my attempt to understand transformers.
One more thing....don't you feel that with all that juice coming out of the transformer and going into those caps, one would want to keep the connectors large and heavy? Afterall, the buss bar connecting the capacitor terminals are always heavy copper...it seems funny to me the thin foil on the PCB board might be a bit light?
Thanks again
C |
|
|
| bigparsnip |
Hi, lets see if I can have a go at answering these then:
First, if you want to know which are the faster diodes to use, simply look for their recovery time (should be specified on the data sheet for most parts if it isn't listed in your catalouge) which should give you some idea how quickly the different diodes will switch off.
second, yes there are diferences between dual primarys and dual secondaries (the primarys are what you connect up to the mains side of thigs, but transformers do quite often come with two so they can be used for 120V and 240V) but from what you mentioned about how you wanted to connect up your transformer, it did sound as though you meand dual secondaries (the windings which give you your output voltage) so you should be ok here I think.
And finaly, although the PCB tracks will not be quite so low impedance a pathway as a thick copper bar, they are still quite capable of carrying high current (in the art of electronics, they quote a 2oz PCB trak only 0.2" wide as being able to cary a 20A current, and as these boards have wider tracks and should have thicker copper then they should be fairly robust). |
|
|
| chrisb03 |
| Are these still on offer? If so, has anyone got a circuit? |
|
|
| bigparsnip |
Hi, I'm not entierly sure what you mean by is there a circuit for this (but if you click on a link below you can see a rough schematic from the original board) as it's simply a rectifier bridge with snubbers on it. However, there are indeed still some available (infact, I would still like to get in about another 30 or so orders before this becomes worth my while doing again) if you are interested.
edit: scrap that actualy, as I have just checked out the wiki page again, and so long as everyone on there is sure about how many they want, then it does look like I will be putting an order in for some boards soon. I guess I will have to go and rework the board, and get some new qutes at the start of next week. So, hopefuly I should be able to let people know the actual price of the boards by the end of next week, allong with the cost of the component kits too.

I sorry I haven't be about much recently, but my rather poor excuse is that it rained.
This can be eplained somewhat by the microwave link that my net connection comes over not being all that reliable, especialy when it rains (and as Cambridge is now very much in it's rainy season, it can dissapear for days at a time without a lot of thinigs that will fix it).
But, this will sitl be going ahead now, although I haven't had a chance to finalise the prices or anything yet (hopefuly, if I get my work finished this afternoon, and I can still get on the net later tonight, I'll try and look into it then) so people will have to wait a little longer for that.
And, wijx as I don't see you name down on the wiki page, would you like me to add you on there or are you on under a different name at the moment?

Andrew,
Any idea when the new group buy will begin? I am not too anxious am I?;) :D |
|
|
| bigparsnip |
Hi, I have (finaly) spent some time going through working out the prices of everything I can this afternoon, and I have arough idea of what everything should cost now. Hopefuly (although I still need to confirm the price of the PCB from the board house, allong with the cost of the heatsinks) the final prices should be:
£4.00 for a PCB
£11.50 for a component kit (so £15.50 with the PCB)
As these are still preliminary the price for the component kit may drop by a few pence, but shouldn't go up at all from this point.
Also, with regards to a deadline for this, I think if I leave the orders open up untill saturday the 6th November, and then start taking in payments the following week (so the deadline for payments will be the 13th November) via paypal (bank transfers may be possible for theose of us in Europe) and I will place al lof the orders on the 12th so hopefuly I will be able to strat getting things ready to send out about a week later, depending on the lead time for the PCB's.
If anyone has any queries about this, or making the payment, faal free to get in touch before then, or post a message up here and I will try and get back sharpish.

Hi,
Will it be possible to buy the kit without the diodes and if so what is the price?
Martin |
|
|
| bigparsnip |
| Yes, that shouldn't be a problem, just take £6.40 off the kit price if you don't want the diodes (although, I will be sending out a seperate e-mail to everyone when the close date turns up, so you should see all the costs individualy then). |

Hi bigparsnip, are you getting the Kapton insulators from Fischer this time aswell?
I'm still interested in the Kapton sheet(1000 x 305mm). If someone else wants half of it we can split, if not I'm prepared to take it all.
cheers
Svein |
|
|
| Michi124 |
Svein,
since I 'm the one who handles the Fischer order, I'm going to answer this:
No problem at all. The price is still € 99,76 for a sheet of 1000 x 305 mm, including VAT.
My advice is to open up your own thread to look for someone to share it with.
BTW, does anyone need TO-247 Kapton washers this time?
Thermal res. 0,07 K/W, price is 0,41 € each (100 off) |
|
|
| Michi124 |
In case you are interested,
please visit the wiki and add your requirements for TO-247 Kapton washers. |

| JasonL |
| is it to late to order ? andhow much in us / Canadian ? |
|
|
| bigparsnip |
| Svein, I guess your questions have already been answered here, and Jason, it will be quite fine for you to still place an order. As far as the prices go, the easiest way I could suguest at the moment, would be to take the euro prices as being equivelent to US dollars, and multiplying the british pries by about 1.8 or two to get a rough idea of how much things will be (as I am expecting most people to pay via paypal, this will allow them to pay directly in pounds sterling to make things a LOT easier for me, but this does mean the the exchange rates on paypal will probably be a little different to most of the currentcy conversion tables out there). |

After that I would like to get the money in by the end of next week, and I will be starting to order the parts and boards as of this weekend, so I should hopefuly have them here to send out within a week or two after that (and I'll even make sure I pack yours up first if you are in that much of a hurry, as we wouldn't want you to get any nasty bites now would we ;) ). |

Right rather than pester andrew on his own i want ask a few questions before i go ahead
I have a Yamaha B-2 V-fet power amplifier, it is built as two mono power amps with their own mains transformers in one case.
Questions
The rails are 75-0-75 v dc the protection fuses on the secondary outputs are 5 amp
Can you just confirm that this bridge is going to be suitable
The secondaries on the power transformers have a "0" tap can you confirm that there will be no problem using this bridge with this sort of supply

OK, I am closing the order now, and I should be sending people out mail later today with payment instructions for this order. If you have missed out it will be quite likely that I will and up having to order some extra PCB's so there may be some left at the end of the order, which I will offer up here once I have sortred out everything else here.

OK, all of the e-mails (at least to those people who I can contact) have been sent out now, so if you could all try and make the payments as soon as possible now (say the middle of next week as a deadline now that I was put behind by my project going a bit wierd here) I can get the PCB order off, as well as the money for the heatsinks, and hopefuly have everything sent out within the next three weeks.

I have received the mail - thanks. I just have one question. The shipping costs seems low are you sure you have calculated the price correct for me? I live in Denmark and would not be able to ship to UK for that price! I just want to be sure that I send enough money the first time.

OK, coulomb, when I get back home, I will send out an e-mail for you with the payment stuff in it (I think I should still have you'r address and stuff from last time to, so that should be no bother).
Also, as far as the postage goes, I will just be senidng them all out individualy, as there are no great savings to be made from things like USPS priorty envolopes here, it just goes on wight, so it might end up costing more to have them posted out twice (same goes for europe, although the prices thatre are not too much more than for delivery in the UK so long as the package isn't too heavy). |

No a lot at the minute, I'm still just waiting for the PCB's and heatsinks to turn up.

So Hopefully, I can sort out getting everything packed up ready to send out next weekend.

What is the best Diode for this application:
Aleph-X 2*100 watt's monoblock's?
There is a lot to choose from, so hopefully some of you guy's
can answer this. To list some options:
Mur1560 to220, Mur3020 to247 dualdiode, Rurp1560,
Rurp3060 to220 and propoply some more!
I also have some of the Fairchild Stealth diodes, R3060 to247,
this is a to247 single diode, but would that work in the rectifierboard? It is also made in to220 case, and that would also be an option.
Well, what is the ultimate rectifier diode??

Sorry for the slow replys recently, but Iv'e been having a bit of bother with my internet connection the last week or so (you would never think a piece of guttering would be able to break your internet connection would you?).
Anyway, I have the PCB's now, allong with all of the parts for the kits save the heat sinks (the ones below aare from the last order)so as soon as I recieve them, I will start packing things up to send out to people.
Also, as far as the best diode choice goes, you may be better off asking in a seperate thread, as I haven't tried out as many different diodes as a lot of other people on the board have, so probably aren't the best to advise. However, I can say that if you have a diode in a TO-247 case with two legs it will not fit into the board, and if you have a TO-220 with three legs they won't fit either so that kind of limits your choice a bit. And, if you are asking in relation to an Aleph-X then I can tell you that the diodes used in the PASS labs amplifier are the BYW99W-200's which are the diodes that are included with the kits, so these may be a good place to start.

Hi, I'm not sure if I said this already, but there are no more kits left for this, just a few extra PCB's that I ordered. I'll know better how many extra I have soon but it should be at least ten, probably more.
and for everyone else, I haven't heard anything more about the heatsinks yet so I will probably start sending out the orders I can, that don't need these, soon. |

| The heatsinks are supposed to be getting sent accross from Germany and just simply havent' arrived yet, and I haven't heard anything for a few days from Michi for a few days now so I'm not entierly sure when they will be turning up. But hopefuly it shouldnt' be anything to worry about too much (unless people are in a big hurry for these). |

hi, sorry I've been away for a few days but I've just come up home for christmas so things have been a bit busy the last few days.
As far as the rest of the packages go I should be sending them out early next week as I ran out of money whilst I was still in Cambridge so I couldn't send the UK ones out (and a couple of others).
And Mike sorry about the missing boards, I'll try and get them to you soon as well (I hope I brought everyones adress home with me :eek: )
Anyway, I'll probably be a bit difficult to cantact for the next few days again but if anyone does have anything they think I shoulod be doing just drop me an e-mail as I've probably forgotten about it all at the minute.
Andrew. |

Hi, yes your package should be on it's way, as it was one of the ones I sent two weeks ago. I should be sending out the rest of the kits that people have paid for this morning (these are for Fritz, Strohmie, wytco0, KevinTams, Killjoy99, zodiac, zedrider, dw0883 and Coulomb) for which I should probably say sorry for the wait.
Anyway, if anyone does have anymore questions if you could get them to me before saturday night that would be good, as I'm off on holiday next week untill the 12th so I probably won't eb able to answer any one back for a while.

Not wanting to critisize bigparsnip how he is doing business but one of the important things in group buys is info about delivery status. Many questions are about money and when the stuff is sent or when the stuff is planned to be sent or are there missing parts etc. I have no idea if bigparsnip is good in emailing and people simply not read thier emails or if there is a lack of information.
Using the wiki page for this is excellent and I really recommend it. |

Hi, I just got back from holiday today and there was one returned package that was suppoosed to be for seve, so I guess you don't need to worry so much about where they are now. I'm rather brain dead tonight though so I doubt I'll get anything sorted out before tomorrow afternoon, but I will get in touch then to check I have all your deatails right before I send them out again.
Andrew.
PS, I will also try and make a start in contacting people who have expressed an intrest in the extra boards as well tomorrow. |

Thanks Andrew. I am glad that the package was not lost in the mail. I will be looking forward to receive your mail.

Other than seve, it looks like I may be the only one still waiting on my boards. Any word on the date they were shipped out and the method of shipping?
Thanks,
Brian |
