The marriage

Hmm you always have the best cards in your hands 🙂

To be honest I took the route to draw my own pcbs because I don’t have the hardware to drill and tap new holes in the heatsinks, I need a column drill that I can’t manage to get.

The heatsinks that my monoblocks have are simply to small to be able to accommodate your pcb, I mean a heatsink can cool ~70w and this is good only for half of your pcb.

I will draw a pcb for - and one for + and each will go on it’s own heatsink.

I hope I don’t offend you in anyway with this.

The good thing is that I am good at copying stuff from others so in this case I will divide your pcb in 2 and copy it.

For the components like 3092 I am choosing the footprint that I find available on mouser.

Take your time, no hurry. I am slow anyway and thanks for being around!
I use a $20 hand drill with a cord, a $5 2.5 mm drill bit, and a $10 tapping tool kit to tap 3mm screw holes. A hammer also helps, to make the first mark for the drill bit to have something to hold on to. A worthy $35 investment that every man should have.

I left the amplifiers 1h to warm up, the top cover was always off.

The readings were the following: 42c on the heatsink and 70c on the mosfet lateral side(see attached photo)

To fix the mosfets to the heatsinks I use m3 screws, split washers, small thin washers(5mm diam iirc), thicker larger washers(10mm iirc), the order from the screw head to the mosfet body is the one described above.

I will wait patiently for the new isolators with the amps off😎

It was something attached a post earlier but the image was a bit darkened.

Edit: added a bit of light to the photos

Yes I have the hardware so I can try that, it simpler than doing it on the heatsinks(less holes). I have an entire week until I get the isolators.

I wanted a fast solution to be able to listen to some music so took the shortest route.
