Busy afternoon!!! 🙂🙂
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Busy Afternoon (take 2)
Crippled F4 pcb's
+- 32V PSU with 108000uf capacitance per rail.
Very Big/Low WAF F4 case! Already got my ears pulled because of this behemoth!!
Nice rubber feet for case!

Very nice MASantos! Nice find that Panasonic THA series, 105C, 35mm.
Do the 4 terminals fit in the Teabag board? Or do you have to cut some?

you know what to do , to get ears back .........![]()
Send that amp to me and I'll correctly dispose of it.
Hehehe

They fit the boards perfectly! there were only 13 in stock at mouser.
2picodumbs, you should get in line! It looks like a apple product release at my front door! 😀😀
Panasonic has discontinued ALL through-hole capacitors.
If there are any you want, buy them now.

digikey still has quite a few of the 27mF 50v ones, I didn't buy more because they would dry inside before I would put them to use.
There are other good brands out there such as cornell dubellier, nichicon and united chemicon.

I am now using Nippon Chemicon KMQ series. They seem to be as good as the Panasonics.

Nice amp. Congratulations.
6L6 do you have a part number for those barrier blocks you use for connecting the thermistors and psu wiring? Those are quite neat!
Is there a difference between Nippon Chemicon and United Chemicon? My assumption is United are made in any number of countries and not specifically Japan as Nippon would suggest.
-The quote in you signature is hilarious without context and was probably quite funny with context.
As far as part numbers for the terminal blocks go, I don't have one but in the past bought one at Radio Shack, but not on the shelf a year later. I picked up a matching pair at Fry's electronics last week. I have more than 12 hours of drive time with 100% failure of them to have the item I went there for in stock over the last year (Fry's).
Neither seem to be metric regarding the distance between mounting holes for the chassis.

My local electronics shop does not have this kind of barrier terminal block, they are quite nice, but mouser has many different ones. The data sheets don't help...

.
Most likely no difference at all.
My feeling is (could be wrong) United Chemicon is manufactured in the USA, and Nippon Chemicon is manufactured from the parent company's factory in Japan/Asia.
If I want to build a pair of F4 monoblocks, is it necessary/appropriate to match MOSFETs and/or JFETs across the two different chassis?
I'd rather just build a single F4 stereo amp now, but would like the option to build another one and use as monoblocks later.
