EvilEvilEvil Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Is there a different capacitor i can use for this? a different value? I just don't have one of these laying around. can i use any of the caps in the C64?What happens if i use a different value? bad things? evil things?

HL-SDK Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Yes, in electronics, a %10 difference rarely makes a difference (I know there are special occasions!!!!!)100uF to 22000uF are good for PSU.. 100uF is cutting it close... Try to go in the thousands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 are you sure you are not referring to the 330nF (nanofarad not microfarad) cap?The one connected just before the 7809?I didnt have one of these either but i did have a 220nf and a 100nf handy so just connected them together in parallel :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilEvilEvil Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Yes! that's what I'm referring to. So I can just use different caps that add up to that value?What about the bridge rectifier? I don't have one of those but the "shack" down the street has a bunch. But they are value marked and not part number marked. Is there a different one I can use, or do I HAVE to use that particular one? What values am i looking for?Thanks!

Therezin Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 It doesn't need to be exactly the same as long as it can take the voltage and current levels you're giving it. Shouldn't be a problem as they're normally rated for mains levels (230VAC) rather than the 9VAC we're giving them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-SDK Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 The bridge rectifier can be discreet diodes, but for simplicity, you can get a rshack rectifier (I have to go there and get one or 2.Even the cheapest ones will be good enough. Look for a current rating of 1 amp or more. The voltage rating shouldn't be an issue. 50 is bare minumum.The smaller caps on PSU's aren't too hyper-extremely importaint. Don't worry ;-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
