Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

The parts list for the Mankato filter lists PT 1 & 2 as mouser part# 527-3006-25V50/60C; this is a 25v 50ohm PTC Thermistor. Has anyone used this part, and does it work?

I had thought that this part was supposed to be a resettable fuse, as described on blacet's tech page. If so, i think that part number should be mouser part# 652-MFR010-LF. Can anyone confirm?

Finally, Dave Brown's photo looks like he used ferrite beads for these components....

What's a boy to do???

I just used a couple of 10R resistors, works fine.

i just use 22R, they give some kind of additional protection.
AFAIK if you have problems with noise in your system you should probably use beads.

I always use beads. Resistors are more of a shortcut protection, but finished modules are unlikely to shortcut so I prefer filtering instead.

What kind of beads? 4001? 4002? Is there any real difference?

I use 7.6mm axial ferrite beads. I'm not sure what you mean by 4001 and 4002.

The Mouser part numbers for the ferrite beads I used are 623-2743001112LF. I just used ferrite beads since that's what the rest of my modules use. I like the protection as designed, but a few modules protected out of so many just isn't worth it. I replaced the diodes with 0.1 decoupling. - Dave

Hey Bbob,

There's several alternatives. The circuit is fairly tolerant of different parts there. The part originally in the list is a thermistor that is designed to heat up and go to a very high resistance if there's an overcurrent situation (protection for shorts). The diodes on the DC input are designed to protect against reverse polarity. The whole mess is borrowed from John Blacet's recommendations -
http://www.blacet.com/tech.html
(see the part labeled "protecting modules from power supply problems")

With the part I originally specified, the resistance is too high and so it ends up reducing the power supply rails on the board to about 12 or 13 volts. The circuit still works fine, but the output levels are reduced slightly. We have a new parts list with a different protection thermistor recommendation, along with a few new values for the CV input resistors (changes the range of the Coarse tune control). The new protection thermistors have a value of less than 1 Ohm but still protect the circuit nicely. See the attachments for the latest Mankato parts list.

Now of course, you can leave off PT1 and PT2 and replace them with jumpers or low value resistors (about 10 Ohms). A low value R acts to limit the current into the module, and so still gives some protection if you have a short. You can also leave off the diodes D2 and D3 or replace them with small caps for a little additional supply filtering.

Hopefully this helps clear things up. Smile

A frac plate variation:



eyehue and anomos worked on their first "professional" looking modular plate for this one, Thomas Henry's Mankato Filter using the Magic Smoke PCB. Hand drilled, locally laser-engraved.

Nice work! I have to say, I've seen many variations on panels, and the Mankato seems to inspire people to try different layouts (maybe because it has so darned many ins and outs), and this in another great looking example. How did you find the place to do the engraving? I'm assuming you took an anodized plate to them and the laser burns through the coating, exposing the aluminum underneath. Looks sharp, and I'd love to find a place to do something similar.

Thanks for sharing!

thanks Tim!

we took PAiA 3u frac blank plates we drilled to our local printer, who also does engraving for trophies and awards.

all they needed were the plates, which we drilled ourselves, and a pdf and jpg of what we wanted engraved. it was pretty easy and they only charged $7 per panel!

so, i recommend looking for a trophy/award engraver or a hardcore printshop with these capabilities to try it out.

thanks again for the kind words.

can i just ask a question about the laser engraving

do you think they would engrave harder metals such as light grade steel or is it just for lighter metals?

my modular has an industria theme goin on and i have built the plates out of corroded thin grade steel that ive found around our warehouse and i have no idea how to make all the writing and pattens on it to annotate the panel features.

i bought a hand engraver and it just managed to put thin scratches in it Sad

not sure how much the laser can etch, but they did a test on the back of our first panel to try out. anyplace would probably want to test a new material first.

Hey Luka,

I'm pretty sure the laser doesn't actually etch into the aluminum itself, but instead burns away the anodized coating. If you look at a lot of the stainless steel keychains and other goodies that people etch at the mall, those all have a special coating on them that reacts with the laser and forms the (very durable) black marking. You should ask around, but I don't think the average engraving / marking laser has enough power to actually etch the surface of steel or other metals.

hmm okay

every way to etch into steel seems to use chemicals but i don't want to eat away the corroded texture on the metal. perhaps i could add a tonne of lacquer to it and then cut thin grooves into that.
