I've decided the next job will be to drill and tap holes to install these bridge rectifiers.

 

[TungstenAudio]

Those are some badazz rectifiers.

 

[2 picoDumbs]

Holes drilled and tapped and rectifiers mounted with hex bolts.
Just one channel of monoblock.
I will do the other later today.

 

[2 picoDumbs]

Some more eye candy.

These are virtually perfect matching devices, at least according to Id vs Vgs curves on data sheet.
I will measure up later.
Ixys IXTH52P10P
Vishay IRFP150 (Has to be Vishay for closest matching specs)

Tapped holes for mounting power supply.
I will finish doing the same on the other amp channel.

Then maybe install and mount thermistor for transformer.

I'm waiting to hear about the zombies....

 

[2 picoDumbs]

Hahahaha

Put ring terminals on transformer windings.
Going to try and buy some Terminal blocks today locally - not an easy thing to do here.
If I have success with that I will mount up Thermistor for transformer etc.

This looks worthwhile reading. I might check it out one day.

I did say I like to torture people.
Hahahaha


This is me going fast.
Hahahaha

 

[2 picoDumbs]

Just about to leave now to buy the stuff I need.
Hopefully have success finding it.

 

[silasmellor]

Voluntary torture though, but an interesting level of detail compared to the average thread here.

True words of wisdom.

See Zenmod
There are people that enjoy being tortured.

Hahahaha

Well looks like it is going to be a Digi-Key order for the terminal blocks so we’ll change plans.
Need to buy some slow blow fuses too. (2.1A)

I will start making wiring looms and decide how I will run cables (kind of already decided).
Drill and tap more bloody holes.
Then do what ever else I think of doing.

 

[silasmellor]

nothing like drilling holes in aluminium to get you all zen

 

[Zen Mod]

oh yeah

all my Aluminum is in holes

no more Aluminum , just holes

On the back panel I am using STX Speakon Chassis Connecters with gold plated copper contacts, and Neutrik chassis mount rca jacks.

NLT4MP-BAG | Neutrik
NF2D-B-2 | Neutrik

I prefer the STX series over standard speak on connectors for the improved rigidity of the alloy body over plastic of the standard chassis connector.

Not so much of a fan of these combo IEC/fuse holder sockets. The quality is good but accessing the fuses is not easy. I could always install a separate fuse holder but I am not planning on blowing fuses on a regular basis so won’t bother.
