Haha, same thing here, I'm building for each of my sons a VFET part 2 amp, to take with them when they go to live on their own. And wondering if I put all the specs and remarks on the back or USB stick or printed labels inside... 🙂
They are 15 and 17 so it would probably not take that long to make an USB 3.0 disk a floppydisk 😀
Super_BQ's kids are a bit younger, I see 🙂
Good thing my plastic covers are made of acrylic:
"One of the potential advantages to acrylic is that it does not contain or release Bisphenol A (BPA) during hydrolysis (degradation due to material contact with water)"
Everything You Need To Know About Acrylic (PMMA)
Now where to find my infrared temperature reader... I know it's somewhere in the house.
Ok i've found my IR temperature gun:
Highest reading for heatsinks (external) between the fins at the base directly behind where the angle bar is mounted, was 52C
Highest reading for the VFets under the cover was 48C
Highest reading for the power Mosfets under the cover was 58C
I think the difference in the measured temperatures using the ir thermometer on the vfets vs mosfets is most likely due to differences in emissivity of the 2 surfaces.
After all the wonderful things that have been said of Vfets, another advantage of VFets is - they are also less likely to be taken out by heat seeking missiles.
Actually most likely due to the lower emissivity of the TO3 can, but I like to give the praise to the Vfet.
Hahaha

Hello, I see you answered all the questions you had for me a year ago... Sorry I never checked the mail sooner.
Neutrix makes great connectors I would use those for power.
I use old hard drive lids for mu shields, you want the older heavy server drive ones.
Papa talked about adding a pinch of odd harmonics, and I bought 1 ohm wire wound pots to put in between the drains and the rails.
Looks like you put a lot of love into this beast. I hope it is rewarded.
I have all the parts but, got distracted with TPA3255 Class D... don't tell Papa.
