Question about Dissipante 2U Internal heighth with baseplate added

[legis31]

Hi!

I have a couple of questions about the Dissipante 2U chassis.

If I add a baseplate, what will the internal height be after the addition and what is the distance between the baseplate and the bottom cover?

Thanks!

If I remember right the clearance between the base plate and the bottom cover is about 3~4 mm.
Internal height is limited by the height of the heat sink which is 80 mm. Subtract the thickness of the base plate and the clearance mentioned above and you arrive at about 75 mm.

Regards,
Oleg

Thanks OlegSh !
It might be a tight squeeze for the 300VA toroid I was thinking of using.

Back when I assembled my amp I had to order a custom made toroidal transformer with the reduced height. It was 350VA transformer...
