Anyone else need more matched IRFP240/9610's

[harvardian]

For those who care, I ordered 250 IRFP240 and 150 IRF9610. With a bit of my time, this should yield some very good matched sets. I just wanted to make sure that people realize that I take this seriously, and do not skimp on getting good results. I match my resistors to .1% also (NOT selling these)...

So far, I have around six new clients. I think this type of collaboration (including the fine efforts of many many others) helps us all out who couldn't afford to get boards made or buy enough fets on our own. Can't wait to hear the details on the new projects. If my aleph takes much longer to assemble, perhaps it will become an Aleph-X or X100RE.

Thanks to all who have answered my never ending questions!

Dale,

I would like to buy 4 matched sets of IRF9610 mosfets (for 4 channels). What would you charge for just the IRF9610s?

Hi Guys,

Here are the 9610 matching results. I promise to finish the 240's by next weekend. I will be away until then...

Hi Dale, Guys,

I went ahead and ordered some extra 9610's (from Dale)
1.)The hope is to build a second Aleph at a later date.
2.)It sticks in the back of my head that in an old thread (un-findable with "Search") Mr. Pass said (not a quote, just from memory) that it does little good to match the differiential FETs. That the Pass method is to substitute 9610's until the DC offset disapears.

Question:
Does any one have experience with matched 9610's providing good results with a low DC offset voltage, or will it still be necessary to try several devices?

Slowly, but surely, I'm getting there.

As promised, here are the results of the output fet matching.

Special thanks to my wife, Rosie, for labeling all of the fets and to Peter Daniel for suggesting some test sockets which made testing easier.

I will sort out and send all packages on Saturday.

Best Regards,

Dale

Hi Guys,

The following shipments went out this morning via USPS:


Rodd Yamashita - IRF9610's
Harry Campbell III - Aleph 3 FETS
Robert Cowan - Aleph 2 FETS
Walter Chick - Aleph 5 FETS

All of the matched sets/pairs are marked on the outside of the static bags. If you want to know the values, check the posted results. All of the values are 4.XXX Volts Vgs.

Good luck on all of your projects.

P.S. Several people have expressed interest. I need to get form commitments (payment), so that you don't miss out. I may not do this again. It takes too much work...

Thanks Dale,

It's been my plesure doing business.

I'll drop a line when they arrive.

Thanks much Dale. It is greatly appreciated.

The reason for two sets is:

One set is for me.

The other set is for when I blow up the first set.

If I bought only one set then I would violate the Murphy's Law corallary about parts conservation.

Actually, the second set is going to be the "raison d'etre" to learn CAD for my Fall semester students.

I haven't selected heatsinks yet. I've made heat dissipation and heatsinks research into an exercise for my summer intern.

I am leaning toward PCB's rather than PTP.

Thanks again,

Chris
