A couple of dinners this week. First, roast chicken and new potatoes on a bed of little gems lettuce. And a pork cutlet rice bowl. I fried the cutlets normally with a light amount of oil then briefly fried them again in chili crisp.

Wow, I kind of lost track of these guys in the early 2000s. Looks like they have been recording for the last decade..

After a hands on, you don't need this, right, @blessingx ?

There is about 1/4 W each KSA1156. Below STN9360 (in red) replaced A1156. Bare copper (no solder resist) under the bracket. Put thin Sil-Pad to isolate bracket from the copper. Time will tell… if this is a good idea. And 2SC3324 is now 2SC2713 on silk screen, Thank you.

Yep, thanks a lot Shawn. It seems that KSA1156 has vanished from Mouser and other places. Mini T2 has a bunch of them. Today I’ve replaced one channel’s KSA1156 with STN9360. Surface mounted device, 90th between pins same as A1156. I soldered them in standing and power ON. Worked great – after two hour I measured something like 60+ degrees Celsius. Perhaps one can put the STN9360 on a small PCB board for cooling purpose. How about a board with aluminum substrate?
