[housing]

Hi P-A,

I have just sent you payment.

Thank you so much for your effort to make this group buy successful! 😉

 

[peranders]

The shipment has started. As soon as I have posted the letter I'll note it on the wiki.

 

[peranders]

A third of the members will have their boards very soon.

I think everyone of you who ordered only pcb's should have got them. I'll appriciate if you tick "arrived" in the wiki. The 12th should the connectors be here so around then I will send out shipping invoices.

Many thanks!

The red colour is very red sort of speaking. I like it very much but I like my name written in gold even more

Three different caps can fitted.

Left: Standard 10 mm pitch

Middle: Heavy duty low impedance BHC -RIFA

Right: Heavy duty general purpose BHC - RIFA

Those BHC caps seems to be a bit difficult, and expensive, to source in the U.S. Would that "Right: Heavy duty general purpose" footprint in post 302 happen to coincide with a 35mm diameter Panasonic T-UP 4-pin footprint?

 

[peranders]

You can buy BHC from Farnell which you have in the US.

I think Panasonic had the same pinout. You only have to compare the datasheets.

Farnell doesn't have a US operation. It looks like Newark will post an order through them, but adds a $20 handling fee.

My first Panasonic data sheet didn't have pinout designations, but I was able to locate another one this morning. The BHC data sheet I have is a bit confusing to me, but I think it is not looking good for a match up.

 

[peranders]

If you buy those BHC, the deLuxe, model this 20 dollar fee will increase the price max 10%, not much in the context. Can you buy BHC from some other distributor? I'm sure you can fins something that will fit. BHC was a suggestion from me only.

The connectors have arrived and tomorrow I will start collecting money for the rest of you guys.

 

[samoloko]

what are best and second best diodes and caps to use
mur 3020 and bhc alp 22 or

 

[peranders]

Best or second best, there are no such things. Most parts which will fit will also work. The biggest trouble is the get the parts. The best you can do is to make a survey over availability.

Look for parts with similar parameters.

Look for good brands, ON, IR, NXP, Vishay, BHC, Panasonic, Rubycon, etc.

I still have not received invoice

 

[peranders]

None of you guys have got any invoice as you can see at the wiki page. Very soon I will start this since I have got the connectors now. The wiki page has always the latest news.

My spare time is very limited now and a few days more. Please be patient.
