Krell KSA 50 PCB

Steenoe, lgreen

Thanks for the nice comments.
Those Dale's are indeed a fraction to big for those boards and therefore you have to bend the leads realy tight against the body of the resistor. It's not how it should be done but hé......

The blue caps are Panasonic FC 1000µF/50V types from Digi-Key.
C110 & C111 are 10µF/50V Elna Silmic from a vendor in Holland.

Cheers
 
here's what I've done so far

And here is my construction so far.
Maybe the drivers go to the main heatsink later if the temp is to high.

CCS boards...

...works for me, you only need one per board, but you can probably get 3 or 4, not sure if they are useful for other projects, but there'd be a bunch extra...k-amps wants 20 or so, maybe others do too.

I didn't include mounting points on my board basically because four strands of my 22ga solid core hookup wire is stiff enough to hold it where I put it...

I'm really very lazy, so someone else taking care of the details will always be OK, they do all the work, I get some portion of the credit, excellent...

It looks so doesn't it😀

Fellow builders I have one more question.
In the partslist the value for R122 & R123 is "150 Ohm but can be dropped to 100 Ohm depending on the rails voltage". If I go for 37V rails can I use a 100 Ohm resistor. It's also the fact that I don't have 150 Ohm Dale's anymore. Ordering only a few of those in de States is a bit to expensive.:xeye:

Regards
 
100ohms is fine, but be aware...

...the current through the 'chain' (r122, q107...q108, r123) will increase from ~10ma to ~15ma...

This is not a problem for the resistors, they are still well under their dissipation limits, but the transistors (q107, q108) are going to have to deal with 50% more power...

With 37v rails, the standing dissipation will go from ~0.3W to ~0.5W, ie they will get quite a bit warmer, perhaps hot...add heatsinks if you need to...

They are branded "Ero" but apparently they also come from Vishay-Roederstein. [/URL]

Ero=Roe= Roederstein.
Roederstein was bought by Vishay a few years ago.
Its like the Solen-Chateauroux talk going on.
SCR= Societe des Composants Records, in France.
They make the Chateauroux MKP's, and the Solen, and Axon C's.(with the funny X)
SCR and Solen in Canada are like Vishay and Roederstein.
Thanks for the datasheet, Gewa, wish i had those RN60d's.:yummy:

O.K. here I am again regarding the "blue caps".
They are branded "Ero" but apparently they also come from Vishay-Roederstein. It's an MKP 1837 type. Click the link for the datasheet.

Thanks GeWa, nice footprint on those blue caps.

I'm stuck with some 50 wima's 0.1/160V MKP which are quite long but they are excellent quality too. Have to use them on all my projects until they last.
