Chip list

[Jtterrible]

is there a thread i'm missing for which chips are possible to use in a regulated mod?.. I know of the the dna chips, okr's, the okl, the raptor, and the yihi. Aren't there more i'm missing or is there a thread that has a list?..

I've noticed some people here also use vamo chips, really its just your preference and availability.
fasttech has a good selection of vamo boards up for sale

Never Mind

Why is there such a limited selection when it comes to regulator chips? Can you use other dc to dc converters?

Return I guess, it costs money to build, and there may not be much of a return on capital let alone profit with this limited venue

I've used a TDK Lambda 20A dc-dc converter. Been running it for two months with no issues.

How did you wire it? Do you have a diagram?

How did you wire it? Do you have a diagram?

I used part number IAF12020A007V-007-R.

Here's a quick PowerPoint schematic I made at home and used to wire mine. (it’s similar to the OKL diagram, so any master switches, fuses, caps should be similar).

Here's a few pics of the box I did it all in. They're not the best, it's what I had at 2am when I finished it. The inside isn’t the cleanest as some of the wires were placed while diagnosing a firing problem I had and the chip is buried underneath everything. I wish I had waited longer before working on it after painting it to give it time to cure, as you can see the brown primer under some of the paint lol. I'm also upset that the slide switch i used was too long to fit in the hole I cut above the voltage meter, even after snipping the legs down to the base. And, the voltage meter is a 0.36" I had laying around, so next time I really want to use a smaller one. It just looks too cramped for my taste. No pics of the chip wiring either. If I do another one, I have things I want to do differently and will try to do some step by step pictures.
