cgs64 vca - smd caps + dual transistors Subject description: questions about the parts |
|
|
hi,
i'm putting together the plans for building the cgs64 vca. first of all, i'm planning to put it on perf board as it works out much cheaper per module. however have some questions re the smd caps and dual transistors. first the caps: i read in another thread the 1206 etc refers to the size, so that said would a through hole 100n cap work for the board i'm putting it on? and the transistors, there are a number of parts (2SC3381, 2SC1583, MAT02, SSM2210) which i can't find in the jaycar catalogue, while the lm394 comes up a s a voltage regulator and not a dual transistor. i guess the lm394 voltage regulator is not the same as the dual transistor? that being the case, what have others used in replacement of any of these parts if at all? or can someone tell me where to get these parts somewhere within australia? |

Hi
any 100n caps will do the job. they are for decoupling the power supply so even el cheapo ceramics will be ok.
You want a LM394 dual transistor. Futurlec is cheapest, and cheap postage tho LONG delivery time. Maybe Elby sell them, Oz based company.
My last 2 CGS VCAs got stuck with hand-matched transistors, good enough for my cacophonies. There are a few ccts for matching on the net. |

Hi!
Futurlec takes long if they don't have them item of your desire in storage. I waited over a month the last time. But when I have ordered before I only waited for a week or so.
The first two of my CGS64 I did not read the instructions carefully and I measured hFE instead of Ib when I matched my trannis.... |

I think my orders from futurlec came from Thailand, quickest for me was 2 weeks, longest 6. You can pay an express postage rate and it will arrive much more quickly.
their .com.au website has less components than the plain .com version, but i guess it will be much quicker. |
