Controller Board Holder

[NavLinear]

I finally got some machine time and my mental picture has come to life. I'll get some action shots tomorrow - time permitting.

Very nice Nav

I have several PL amps opened up and the holder hooks onto the chassis without interference - except for cables that can be moved. I have an add on that I hope to get made soon that will give these a lot more flexibility. The older boards have components real close to the edge so I'll have some slip on holders that will hold the board but provide spacing for these components.

Very nice Nav

Thanks Joe. I'll have a few for those that are in need.

That's too trick for words Nav---DAYAM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cures one of my biggest pet peeves.....

It's pretty solid - I don't think you can stand on it but it will hold a board in place while you futz with it.

A couple of action shots with a 700. The stock boards have components that come up to the edge of the circuit board so I have some adapters in the works to make this work with all configurations of the 400 and 700 amps. I'm planning on getting the adapters out this week but sometimes work gets in the way.

The White Oak board does not have components near the edges where this holder attaches - so it has a solid attachment and seems to support the board well.

Phase Linear 700 Power Switch Spacer

One more widget I wanted to show. A simple spacer for the cool power switch that Lee sent me. I have a few extras.

 

[NavLinear]

A couple more photos of the spacer.

Very tricky buddy. You need to go to Antique electronics and get a couple P-K312 knobs....

 

[NavLinear]

Nice knobs - they have them in the 1.25 inch diameter and 0.75 inch. The smaller one matches the power switch knob. Thanks for the input Lee.

Well - some machine time was available so the adapters were made today for the controller board holder bracket.

 

[NavLinear]

The first photo is a stock PL controller board and the other photos show how the adapters allow a better hold on a board with components so close to the edge.

FaboNav.....simply incredible..

Technology can be cool - fun stuff to play with. You should see some of the things we've built with this machine.

The only limiting factor is the imagination......

Very cool, NavLinear. I like the way you think.

Oh Jeez, you really went there....
