Sebtdi Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Having a hard time sourcing 47uf 16 VDC capacitor in 3.5mm case for the GR78/79xx built anyone have any spares? I need 4 https://canada.newark.com/vishay/tmcmb1c476mtrf/surface-mount-tantalum-capacitor/dp/56Y0110?ost=tmcmb1c476mtrf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) Guys, I need to replace a Hall effect sensor (HA 305 503) but I'm finding it outdated. Please can you help me find an alternative? The supply voltage must be max 5Vdc (for use with USB) Edited June 3, 2021 by jose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am building a "collective control" (for a helicopter simulator) and I need one hall effect sensor for one of the movements. I already have a raspberry-pi as a controller but in several schemes that I have seen they use the HA503. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmking Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) heads up, more parts (this time SMD) being deleted the 2sc3324 is going the way of the dodo - both the BL and GR grades. its used in joamats mini T2 mouser has plenty of stock of BL but no GR radio spares no stock farnell no stock digikey no stock of BL grade. but has stock of GR grade MMBT5962 is also going. Its used in Mr Carlsons capacitor leakage tester... mouser no stock digikey no stock farnell 3 left in stock radio spares has stock Edited June 3, 2021 by jamesmking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you just looking for a binary “yes” or “no”? In which case you might also want to use a comparator. I can post the schematic and board files for what I did, which also supports an optical sensor.

jose Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Yes, I suppose it could work. I'm doing something like These. The guys that I fly, have found this and that seems to work. It handbreke already has an arduino and a Hall sensor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rinat Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Hi. I am searching for 2SA1468 and 2SK246-GR There are only 5 pcs on the bdent ( Could I replace them in the original T2 scheme (I already have PCBs) without lowering sound quality ? 2SA1468 -> 2SA1968 | 2SA1413 ? Or maybe just someone knows where could I buy them ? Or what device should I destroy to get them ? No, really - I don't afraid used, but original transistors 🙂 I just a little desperate to find at least a little reliable source of these transistors 😞 Thanks!

Pars Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Sorry, don't know where to find either, but in general, for any of the designs using old silicon, it is a good idea to source all of the silicon, or at least make sure you can, before investing in PCBs, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I chose to build a modern T2 - which I can highly recommend, I have not compared it to an original T2 but at least I know I all the transistors are from mouser with the exception of the 2sk216 and 2SJ79 which I sourced from a reliable forum member. I know members who have built an original T2 had issues and lost hundreds of $ in burnt NOS transistors... for me the modern T2 makes more economic and practical sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about fakes and try to buy all silicon from trusted sources - forum members, bdent etc. Anyway, thanks for the advice! I also would test all the transistors before use them, and not only test for breakdown voltage, but build curves, measure capacitance, etc. I would not allow my NOS transistors to burn 🙂 Why don't I build modern version of T2? Because I already have many rare components and I believe that I could find necessary components or replace them with something similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starcat Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Anyone has 1x MJW21194G (or MJW21196) on pile? I have ordered some from Mouser, but they are shipping them end of Jan 2022, which is radiculous. Looking for 2x KSP42BU as well (or MPSA42). Thanks a lot.

Craig Sawyers Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Sourcing of currently manufactured semiconductors, even from OnSemi and other mainstream manufacturers, is log-jammed. This is a result of the perfect storm of Covid causing lines to be mothballed and then restarted and qualified, supply of the raft of chemicals needed, and similar problems Covid issues in the global distribution chain. Even vanilla parts are now out at end 21 early 22 delivery. And if you are going to build a PC - forget it. Processor chips have dried up as bulk users have stocked up (PC and automotive manufacturers mainly, but also smart phones and TVs). If you can buy one expect five times or more the nominal price. And pre-covid, particularly ceramic surface mount parts were on insane lead times, now even more insane. It will get better. From the end of this year onward supply ought to improve. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
