Hi Giroup,
This is a SMD construction, and then again its not, look pretty cool though!
BDW are you a HAM guy? HAM guys have a tendency to solder the parts on the copper side! ;D
Good job!
Hi Joe,
Sorry for the delay, I haven’t been able to log in for a few days!
You need a PWM Pulse Width Modulation control circuit to do this. I don’t know how much you’re into electronics? ;)
Hi gogo,
No, the 2N5416 is only 1A and will not replace the 30A MJ4502! (smoke)!
You could use two 2N2955 in parallel if you like with 0R1 5W on each emitter!
Hi Aan,
Some more info would be great! Where is it used and for what purpose (vehicle, emergency power or other)? Do you have a schematic for the rest of the circuit around it which might give a clue to what’s inside this regulator and even a picture might do some good here!
Hi robot,
I don’t know if any book on this subject exists, I have not seen any nor heard of any!
However if you try Google you get lots of hits, obviously there are many armatures out there who are into this. 8)
Hi again!
I was thrown out two minutes after posting the one above you!
Now I am in for the moment, lets see how long it lasts this time before my IP is blocked again!? My IP at work is still blocked! ???
Yes, that’s the next thing to do for sure!
Hi Audioguru,
Me too, this is the first time in 96 hours I am able to post anything!!
I was thrown out when attempting to login and sometimes the URL was gone completely!
Sure hope it will stay up now!
Hi steev,

On the first page of this data sheet you will find a circuit “Typical Operating Circuit”, you need to change the resistor values of the two resistors in the voltage divider to get the desired output voltage.
If you can’t find the...
Hi astra,
GSE means Ground Support Equipment.
It’s a tough one, this is the closest I could find: http://www.v-infinity.com/pdffiles/VMPT-200C.pdf The –15Volt is only 2.4A and you must use a fan to cool it, can you live with that? 8)
