Keratherm insulating material

[ihan]

Hello all,

Does anyone know where to buy Keratherm red insulation in the UK at a reasonable price. I have been quoted approx £150 for a 1m by 0.5m sheet by Young Electronics, the UK distributor. I have no need for such a large amount, a 300mm x 300mm (12" by 12") sheet would be more appropriate.

Thanks for any help,
Ian

Have you tried emailing them to ask who the authorised suppliers in the UK are, if any.

Contact - Kerafol

This might be better in "parts" actually 🙂

Bought my keratherm/kerafol at conrad electronic...

Thanks Toni,

You've been very helpful. I'm preparing to order parts for a MOSFET amplifier, in order to test Richard's 'pure cherry' compensation. It should be a very interesting exercise. Can I make it stable? BTW, I don't think the ringing on the edges you saw should necessarily have put you off. In my experience, that is just a sign of low gain margin. If you were testing in to a cap load, that is to be expected. If a resistive load, then it is probably a cause for concern.

Thanks once again.

Best wishes,
Ian

Many thanks for your help ticktock, I had already contacted them, see my (moved) post in the parts forum.

Moderator, I apologise. I now appear to have two posts in this forum. Please merge them if possible. Sorry for my infringement and any inconvenience. I posted in both forums, because relevant people may not look in both.

Thanks,
Ian

You're welcome!
The instability was caused also by a pure resistive load. Maybe Richard will try to simulate the amplifier again to get more gain margin to get pure cherry running ...
I have enough spare pcb's for more 2stageEF (aka: SA2013) tests and variants.🙂

Good luck for your project - maybe you are willing to show us some progress or "the making of" your amplifier. 😉

I received about a 1/4 sheet of paper-size as a sample from the US distributor, so I would expect other equally ambitious distributors to do the same...
