DigiPete Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 The boards would already be connected to the angled aluminum (done by the builder) Comments? I think this is best, this way the boards can be tested once assembled. Once the heatsink angle iron is fitted, you don't have to worry about undoing it, shipping and risking damage as the end user is trying to refit the angle iron.

DigiPete Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Maybe the prime builders ought to have a separate thread to facilitate the design and integration process, which should include as a minimum: prototype board design and its testing/validation, parts selection and specs, amp chassis integration issues, parts procurement/cost, and assembly/test/distribution issues. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarium Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Okay cool... I just need to know specs and price range. Let me know when the info is solidified What's hip in toroidals these days? Plitron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pars Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 ok, here's what I'm thinking in terms of responsibility: pars - boards / BJT matching Not sure how I am going to do the boards? Other than that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 n_maher - internal wiring procurement and distribution wut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 wut? I dunno, we like need wire and you seem to always have a lot of it lying around ... I can always give this one to someone else if you aren't up for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigiPete Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Just this... I remember studying partial diff. eqs in college Looks like fluid mechanics or quantum mechanics or something.... That was many beers/years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can always give this one to someone else if you aren't up for it! I'm not sure I've ever had that much just laying around. But if you guys want some exotic wire for this project I'll work my contacts and discounts and see how cheaply it can be had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Ya'll head on up to Nate's House 'O' Wire. If we don't have the wire you're a lookin' fer, I'll eat a bug. Free cotton candy fer the little uns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigiPete Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Pars, Did those Dyhani transistors I sold you work out ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pars Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Not quite that far yet, but I'm sure they will. Boards are pretty much done other than putting the transistors in. I also need to decide how i will mount these to the heatsinks (angle bracket or standing up straight onto rectangular section aluminum). SumR transformer on order, plus case. BTW, did anyone happen to download j4cbo's Eagle schematics and/or board files on headwize? Looking at the board, it may be possible to do this in the freeware version of Eagle. Maybe. http://headwize.com/ubb/showpage.php?fnum=3&tid=6584&srch=dynafet; Edited February 6, 2009 by Pars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see my post earlier here. I used an angle aluminum bracket. I have two unpopulated Dynahi boards and one unpopulated Dynahi PSU pcb I ought to put up for sale at some point.

Pars Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Yes, I was looking at that as yours is a very well done example of angle bracket. I just always wondered why most people did it that way instead of mounting the output BJTs straight up onto a rectangular section about the thickness of the board offset (3/8") or so? I guess the angle bracket does lend itself to the board mount for that side and all. It would be nice in the Dynafet project to make the boards so they could kinda interchange in a Dynahi as far as mounting, etc. so you could swap boards in the same amp chassis.

Pars Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 First stab at a BOM. I took the Google one from Headwize and started updating it with some info Marc provided. http://home.comcast.net/~youngc1/DynaFET BOM.xls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
