Or you could junk the old supply. Go to a switcher and for the 9.6 use a 7809 with a diode in the ground connection, Make sure you fuse and add the proper caps to the input and output of the 7809. You will just have saved the planet some greenhouse gasses Not to mention your electric bill. N

I found a junk TPN1110B power supply in my garage, and removed the two heavy diode assemblies. They are, indeed, 1N3492R diodes that are press-fitted into a small aluminum plate marked 64B83562D01 and ink-stamped 1V80739B59. Yes, the last digit is a "9" not a "7" on both of these diode assemblies.

The capacitance may be split between capacitors to reduce the effects of internally generated heat, ESR and inductance. I would use the same number of capacitors as the engineer that designed the supply specified. I would also use 105 degree C capacitors that have the lowest ESR that I could a

Eric, I did some research on those capacitors, and found that the original part number 2383093G20 is NLA. However, I noticed that part number 2383093G27 is still available, and is described as "CAP ALU 17500 -10 +150 20V". It is priced on MOL at $ 36.59 each. I wonder if it is a suitable substi

The problem with buying NOS caps is that they might have been new in 1980. They've been sitting on the shelf for all this time, and might not be much better than what you have now (unless yours are shorted). Bob M. == --- On Fri, 9/19/08, kk2ed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: kk2ed <[EMA

Those big aluminum electrolytic caps with screw terminals are getting extinct, and if you DO find one, it'll likely be expensive. You can get something quite smaller in size but the same or larger electrical value. Go with that. Stuff some stiff foam rubber or even some wood slats around the bot
