Does anyone know a mouser/digikey number for the switch that's used in the 900 power supply? I've got everything I need for the power supply in this new cabinet I'm building except for the switch - and as everything else in it is up to motm specs, I'd like the switch to be too. Thanks!

Hi, Check out David Brewster's site here http://pugix.com/synth/portable-rack-cabinets/ He mentions one he used that is similar: " combination AC inlet, power switch and fuse, Schurter IEC320 AC I, (Mouser 693-4304.6090) for $9.00" Inspired by David's site I'm using similar cabinets and power supply setup. I decided to get 'fancy' and use a more expensive AC inlet that has line filtering, even though it may not be of any real value (I whole heartedly believe in over kill! ;-) http://www.alliedelec.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?SKU=6894156&MPN=864-03%2 f003&R=6894156&SEARCH=6894156&DESC=864-03%2f003 It's $30 plus tax and shipping though!!!! ;-( Besides filtering it has voltage selection and since the PowerOne can accept 120 or 220 AC, I thought I would wire it up with an inlet that could be switched. (I've NEVER traveled to England or Japan etc and have no plans to do so but . . . obsessive compulsive behavior doesn't like to be ignored! ;-) If you look at Allied's main page for power inlets they show a 'Top seller' for $8.50 that looks like it should work too. And there is a mind boggling TON of different models to choose from! http://www.alliedelec.com/search/SearchResults.aspx?N=4294821653&SKU=689-415 6&sid=11C342467F33 Best of luck! John l Rice

Carling Switch Model #62115919-0-9-V, Allied Electronics Stock #683-2007. The fuse/power inlet is Digikey #Q203-ND. Paul S.

Um, that would be Richard Brewster ;-> I looked at inlets with line filtering, too. I am not sure what sorts of application require such filtering. It seemed to me that it would not add a lot of benefit to a MOTM system. Richard Brewster http://www.pugix.com John L Rice wrote:

Whoa! Sorry Richard! I guess the mind does really start to go after 50 . . it seems sometimes that some of the stuff I type was typed by someone else! ;-) I'm not sure if the filtering inlet will really be worth the extra bucks either. I guess if I ever find myself doing some hard core German industrial music and the electric drill and cutoff saw are plugged into the same outlet, it might help keep the line noise out of the synth . . . but . . . maybe wouldn't be desirable in that situation anyway! ;-) Talk to you soon, R I C H A R D ;-) John -----Original Message----- From: Richard Brewster [mailto:pugix@...] Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2008 3:48 PM To: John L Rice Cc: 'sduck409'; motm@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [motm] Switch for 900?
