Hello!
I am an electronics newbie, and I was wondering where I could find a
capacitor found at
http://www.mitedu.freeserve.co.uk/Circuits/Alarm/radiowavealm.htm . It says
I need a 4 nano farad capacitor. Could someone give me the URL of say a
mouser catalog item that's 4 nano farads?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Apollo_CAP
Nano farad is a term that is not used as often as pico farad.
You need a 4000 pf (pico farad) cap.

1pf = .000000000001 farads
1nf = .000000001 farads or 1000 pf or .001 mf
1mf = .000001 farads

scientific notation is useful:
1 pf = 10^-12 farads
1 nf = 10^-9 farads
1 mf = 10^-6 farads

Is there anywhere in UK/Europe who sells DalSemi parts? I've checked
all my normal buying areas with no joy (farnell, donberg, rs etc.)
Ring them directly. They do credit card sales over the 'phone. Cut out
the middle man...

0800 585 048 ask for sales
or 01189 303 388

They charge a fixed UKP 6.50 for P&P and seem (not surprisingly) to
always have good stocks. Donberg, I've always found expensive. Farnell
are not cheap but don't charge for delivery.

HTH,

Hi, all.

The TI TPIC6C595 (or ST STPIC6C595) is almost what I'm looking for. It
is an
8-bit shift register with open-drain outputs capable of several hundred
milliamps each and drain voltages of 33 volts (although the logics use
5V).
I don't need that much sink capability; about 50 milliamps would be
fine.

If it could also source about 10 milliamps or more, it would solve all
my
problems. I have searched for such a device but I have been
unsuccessful.

If anybody knows of a device which could do this, please let me know.

I don't. It's a bit difficult without further info, however. You say
what the TPIC offers, but not what you need. Do you need 33V of drive
voltage? Output tristate? Freewheeling diode? What about saturation
voltage?

If 5V is enough, what about a 74F595 (Philips)? Toshiba, Mitsubishi
(Renesas), Allegro, Rohm are other possible manufacturers.

Is a combination of a shift register with a separate driver IC (or
even with discrete driver transistors) out of the question? Such
combinations often can be done with very cheap parts and you have
lower risk of obsolescence. Overall parts count goes up, however.

Cheers
Stefan


Hi, Stefan.

I'll try to address your questions:

Essentially, I need what the TPIC offers but with the ability to source some
current.
* The supply voltage is a 12VDC battery bus, so 33VDC is not absolutely
required.
* The output need not be tristate.
* Freewheeling diode not required.
* Saturation voltage is relatively unimportant except for the power
dissipation it causes. If the package can take it, almost any saturation
voltage is acceptable.
* Seperate shift register and driver is acceptable *if* all outputs are
source/sink with several mA capability.

Logic voltage is 5VDC but the final outputs will be sinking LED currents
(30mA each)from the 12VDC bus which could rise to 22VDC during fault
conditions. Yes, I know a current source is normally not needed for this,
but my particular application requires it to overcome temporary leakage
currents from the outputs to ground.

Thanks for your ideas. I will check them out.

Hi,

Thanks, it's all down to me putting all interest in Internet ordering
rather than thinking about the more obvious phone ordering
option...Doh!

I guess calling the UK office directly is the best idea. Cheers.

Try Allegro www.allegromicro.com they have all sorts of drivers (see, for
example, UCN5811A http://www.allegromicro.com/datafile/5811.pdf)

The 5811 (or another Allegro equivalent) may be the ticket. I had looked at
these before but missed the fact that they were sources with sink
capability. (I was looking for sinks with sourcing capability.)

Thanks for your help.

Just about any non-magnetic/non-conductor with sufficient rigidity
should do.

It's been some forty years now since I've used Bakelite, but I can
recall turning bobbins/spools in a lathe.

Bakelite is/was just a non-conductive rubber/plastic compound. There's
nothing really "magic" about it - as long as you've got something
non-conductive that's about the same size and shape as the core the
experiment calls for, you can use pretty much anything non-conductive
for the coil form, and you'll do fine. I'd suggest a small plastic
pill-bottle as likely to be a more-than-reasonably-adequate substitute.

Plywood (or a wooden dowel...) wouldalso work just fine.

If you aren't planning to run enough current through the coil to heat
it up appreciably, then ordinary PVC pipe (electrical conduit, or
Schedule 40 cold-water pipe) should work fine. You might want to use
CPVC pipe, which is a bit tougher and is rated for hot-water
service.

Odds are you can find a PVC fitting or "nipple" of a suitable size at
your local hardware store... or just ask a plumber for a cutoff/trim
piece from his last or next job.

Sorry, I should have given some more info...the dimension of the coil
"holder" are:

1 pc 2 1/4" O.D. x 6" long tubing having 1/16" thick wall
1 pc 1/8" x 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" for top of cover tube

Reviewing the article now for the current rating, but it uses a 20 amp fuse
in it. The coil (made from about 2.5 lbs of #16 magnet wire) will
(essentially) go right into the wall plug.

Thanks again for the quick replies....

Another term is phenolic. But nowadays most wire forms are made of
nylon.

Phenolic thermoset plastic. Requires oven cure after molding, if
not as part of the molding process.

Plastics Manufacturing Company, Dallas Texas, still makes phenolic
products.

Texas Ware they call it.

Visit a military surplus store. Or an industrial liquidator.
Easier, cheaper, and more4 likely to find what you need.

Bakelite isn't used for much in the electronics world nowadays, but it's
still used for making handles, knobs, etc., for cookware. It's very heat
resistant; that's why it's a good choice in that type of application.

Virtually any non magnetic material (most likely plastic of some
sort) of appropriate dimensions would be a suitable substitute.

Note that bakelite was significantly more heat-resistant than most
modern plastics, so keep that in mind if your electromagnet gets
warm/hot.

Why? Hasn't been made in decades. Use something modern.
