GB: Fo-Felix EMI Filter for AC mains 120/230v; By Folsom

Hello Destroyer. What is status of the order ?

 

[Destroyer OS]

Damn to late... ;0) Will there come a new GB?
Does the ohm of the bypass resistors for the chokes depend of the chokes A?

Not too late. How many do you want?

Hello Destroyer. What is status of the order ?

The PCB printer says they're in production, so they should be shipped pretty darn soon, which will mean 3-5 days to me.

Possible X2 cap part substitution

Hi All--I put in an order for the specified parts from Destroyer OS's email sent last night. I noticed Mouser only had one (!) of the x2 caps, where 4 are needed per board (part # 80-R463I347050N0M). They listed re-stock date out to mid-July for this part.

DigiKey didn't have any of the same part number, either. Weird. It appears that manufacturer part # R463I347000N0M is the same as the one specified, except for a lead length of only 4 mm vs. 25 mm. Mouser is showing stock of R463I347000N0M at 470+. So, if the board thickness is less than 4 mm this replacement part should work, right?

Thanks;

It'll work.

Any 4x X2 470nf 15mm lead spacing that is 10mm or less width will work fine. The board is 1.6mm.

It's annoying that when I make a BOM they might have 8,000 some, and the next 0... but it happens.

 

[Destroyer OS]

Boards just shipped to me, will be able to ship them shortly.

2 for me please

Hello Destoryer, Can u bill me additional pcb and required things and combine ship for me ?

1 x filter pcb
2 x AC connector
Bundle with my first order then ship together.

Thx

 

[Destroyer OS]

Looks like even more caps went out of stock... ugh.

Any of them on this search should work.

Count me in for one PCB.
How do I pay.
Thanks

Late as always... I will take one with connectors if they are still available.

PM's sent.

Both 542-8121-RC and 542-8120-RC have gone missing on Mouser during the last week, why is everything on this BOM so difficult to find? Did you send out thousands of boards? ;-)

 

[Destroyer OS]

No! This is driving me nuts, too. I've ordered a few dozen of them over the years... Maybe we're being ripped off (again) by a commercial place. 🙂 Flattering, but annoying for part ordering.

Luckily there is Digikey & Newark, probably more places. When ever you see a mouser # you can just remove the first numbers in front of the first - and then search for the rest at digikey or other electronic sites. For example 8121-RC and 8120-RC

Thanks, will try, mouser worked great from Europe but maybe all do.. Yes it seems to have happened now in a number of cases, but I've not been long enough at this to judge how abnormal that is ;-)

 

[Destroyer OS]

Also the Comoco's are unique, no one sells anything like them besides Coilcraft. And IIRC the 812X won a shootout back in the day so that's why it was used on the original filter and now this one.

It appears that Bourn, who bought JW Miller, may also be selling to other electronics businesses. This is only maybe slightly different in the plastic area but otherwise the same, and there is 1400 of them. CMT-8120 Triad Magnetics | Filters | DigiKey

I can't find any "Properly sized bypass resistors" in stock for neither 8120-RC nor 8121-RC with material "carbon composite" on Digikey, any bets?

Edit, sorry only 1.8kOhm I could'nt find, 1.2 is available

 

[Destroyer OS]

You don't have to use CC.

Everything shipped but the last two domestic , those will go out on Monday.
