Nat Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Ok, I'm trying to find those trimpots at my local electronic store, and I try to find the one that will fit SmashTVs PCB.The one in my catalog that fits is rated "1 meg Ohms"On the smashtv pcb site it says "10k"is that the same thing ?Also I can't find a 1.5a 800v Bridge recitfier, the closest is 1.5A 600vWill this do the job ?ThanksNat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Hi Natuse the 10k ohm (this is 10 000 ohms) where as 1 meg ohm is equal to 1 000 000 ohms. It's a very good idea to get use to these prefixes as the world of electronics is full of them. Here is a table of how it works.PerfixM (Mega) =1 000 000k (kilo) = 1 000m (milli) = 0.001u (micro) = 0.000.001n (nano) = 0.000 000 001p (pico) = 0.000 000 000 001i.e 10k ohms = 10 x 1000 =10 000 10M ohm = 1 x1 000 000 = 1 000 000The bridge recitfier rated at 600v@1.5A will be fine, remember that only 9V-12V is going in to the midibox and 1.5Amps is a pretty large current, therefore it is unlikely your midibox will draw the amount of current.Rowan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nat Posted July 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Thanks !NatAnd can the 2200 uF condenser be any wattage ? They don't have 16v at my store.Thanks,Nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Hi NatCaps ( capacitor or condenser, they are the same thing) don't have wattage rarings because they don't consmue real power. The important spec is the voltage rating (as well as the value of capacitane, in Farads). 16V is a conservitive value, but should be considered as minium. Look around is other stores, someone is bound to have one. Remeber allways to buy at least one more than you need.Rowan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nat Posted July 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Ok, so anything larger than 16v will do the job ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pay_c Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Yes, its the maximum voltage the cap can take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
