Surprisingly educational

For Circuit Patterns Trading Cards - full deck

I like to look at these when riding on the back of my husband'd motorcycle since books flap around too much and I can hold these with one hand. The first time I looked I could hardly understand them, but as I learn more about electronics I'm delighted to find that I understand more and more.

I like to try to take two random cards and then build a project that uses them both. It's fun and I learn a ton. Of course I do the soldering at home, not on the back of the motorcycle.

A simple idea that works very well

For Re:load 2

I bought this item as I had some systems to stress test. This involved loading both the online and offline power supplies to the rated limits for 24 hours. This test was followed by overload testing to see just how far we could push the system.

We built the Re:load2 into a metal box with an inline digital ammeter. We also have output to a logging system. The heaksink was coupled to the box side to improve thermal coupling although we were not overloading the unit - just good practice we think.

Excellent block. Works as promised.

For PCB Tooling Block - Full grid

The block is of excellent quality. All holes did need to be punched once each to get rid of excess drilling spills. The holes themselves are precision-drilled. It might be worth mentioning that it is pure aluminium, not anodised. The accompanying pegs are not all of equal length though, which is not a problem functionwise, but easthetically speaking imperfect.

Recommend witout any reservation

For Re:load 2

Well designed, well documented, delivered promptly when the product was back in stock. Works reliably without any problems. Hopefully better stock management will enable shortening of the wait time.

Love it

For Minishift 1 pack

It works great, was easy to set up, and documentation is very thorough. I couldn't be happier!

working great and solid items.

For Re:load 2

Overall working great....
come to notice that the MOSFET is not BTS141 as stated in the website. the one i got is BTS133.
is there any reason behind this change? bts141 seem to have a better power rating compare to bts133

Thanks for the review!

The BTS133 has lower maximums, but is more than sufficient for the 6 Amps that the Re:load can sink; we've chosen it as a more affordable alternative.

Can you let me know where you saw mention of the BTS141?
