[Capacitor]

Hello everyone,

Do you have to charge a capacitor before you hook it up or can it just be wired in? If it has to be charged does any one have a resistor from there cap I can use?

[switch problem]

Hello everybody,

I am using a DC switch to power on a board.
It does not always work with a li-ion battery, but with a dc adapter I have no problem with the switch.
any help with this ?

[Power supply air flow]

Hello everyone,

I'm considering moving the PSU to the bottom of the case I'm building, but I'm not sure there is enough space for proper air intake.

It draws with a 140-mm fan, and there will be a gap along the bottom of the case about 1/8" high, figure a total of about 40 inches in length on this gap, for a total of about 5 square inches of inlet space.

Two questions: Will this be enough inlet space to allow proper air flow for the PSU? Assuming it IS enough space, will the narrow constriction make it sound like a wind tunnel?

I can make the gap wider if needed, but I wanted to get some input from those with more knowledge of air flow than I.

Thanks!!
