  1. Ran into the same problem a while ago. and found two potential solutions:

    1) There is an equivalent size (as far as I can see) with an M3-hole called the SK437 xx STS 2 from Fischer Elektronik (xx is length in mm.). However, note that only the STS 2 version has the right pin configuration for our use. Available from TME in the EU, but I haven't checked for other sources.

    2) I mounted my parts with a (nylon) M3 screw, where I trimmed the head slightly with a Dremel-type tool so it would fit between the fins of the original Aavid HS, with an M3 nut on the device side. A bit of a faff to do, but seems to work OK.

    FWIW I personally don't use teflon SPC for power because it's too stiff (no laughing in the back please :D ) but (surplus) silicone-insulated copper that's pliable and easy to work with. 18-20 ga sounds right for me (app. 0.5-0.75 mm2 in metric terms).

    mwl168,

    Any chance of going forward with the GB for just the amp?  I think some people (like myself) might go with another power supply for now. 

    Maybe take orders for the amp and the PSU separately instead? I'd at least still want a full set but I might consider adding an extra amp board - just in case. That would allow people to order amp boards only as well? Does give mwl168 some addition complexity in packing and shipping boards though.

  16. Yes, that's also one of the reasons I don't want to volunteer. The 25% VAT + additional duty and fees I would be asked to pay doesn't make a lot of sense to pay for the whole lot.

  17. Good initiative, but it might be good if we could get a more realistic cost estimate first? Spritzers $10 ballpark is just the factory FOB-price, so some estimate on what would be the final price (including shipping/import costs and a small contingency) would make it more realistic.

    If you commit to 50pcs the difference between $12 and $18 per unit suddenly matters :)

    Around the 10$ mark F.O.B.  I'm sure the TKD's are around this level as well in these quantities. 

    Thanks. Even if the final price ends up being in $18-$20 range I'm pretty sure they'd go fairly quickly.

    Of course doing this is either a ton of legwork to run a GB or quite a bit of risk for someone to front the cash, buy the lot and then sell them off afterwards. Not sure if we have volunteers for either? B)

  21. That was what I was thinking as well, although I can't seem to find any data sheet for a 2SC32725...

    DefQon: Not sure if you you already know, but 2SCxxxx is an NPN BJT in the Japanese system (2SAxxxx is the corresponding PNP). BCxxx in the European system is a silicon small-signal BJT, but no mention of polarity.
