Stuffing all the goody bags with the bonus quick shutdown PCBs (2), Molex KK’s (2) and crimp sockets (4), BC546’s (4), and nylon standoffs (8). Man, it takes some concentration to count and stuff. Now I know how a pharmacist feels filling bottles with pills all day long.
It’s no fun, I’ll tell you that...
Getting ready to package the rest of the orders. Hopefully they will all go out today.
Thanks for your patience.
Doesn’t look like much, but the connectors, transistors, and standoffs are a significant cost compared to the main board.

I just built the and tested the bonus instant shutoff controller board. I included the two BC546 transistors with each board. You just have to round up a couple do resistors, a small cap (4.7uF), two 1N400x diodes and an LED. Note that D1 and D2 should not be populated unless you are using a separate transformer.
I made a video of the test of the circuit here (using the PSU from the All Cee’s for the Xmas amp):

I tidied up the plank Xmas amp (TDA7293) and connected actual speakers and source and listening now. The Gen2 SSRs work great. Power cycled on/off and absolutely silent. No turn on or turn off noise audible from speakers. You can’t tell that you turned the amp on or off unless source has music playing.

Those are 14-16ga “Bullet” female crimp connectors. It turns out that banana plug male fits it perfectly.

That was very clever to deadbug P2P it across the standard 4-pin puck style bridge (althoug a 35A bridge is a bit overkill for a 20mA load!). You have your diodes already and only needed the cap and bleeder. Having and LED and resistor for the LED is nice but unessary. Nice!
That can be easily integrated into the female Faston connectors in the future. I like it!
