I would like a bare pill if you got one I would like to buy from you
I am in the same boat… have not found one either. I would like to build a triple, could buy it… but would rather build it.
Guys, you should understand that your host IDs differs to much to make universal drop-in for any host.
What?
Different hosts have different diameter of place which drop-in should fit.
If you buy copper drop-in in internet it can have 0.3-0.4mm gap. Somebody else will order aluminium one offline, if it will be made for press fit. Second variant will have much better heat transfer to host.
A triple pill like all the ones that have been sold on here before I should have clarified for the members that don’t know better
True but that is where aluminum foil, copper tape and soda can strips come in. If used along with lower modes you wont have too much of a problem. The gap you talk about hasn’t stopped sportac and vinh from making triple dropins.
“Universal” P60 shells can definitely be made. Yes they sometimes need a bit of filler for really high power/heat applications, but they still work very well. Here’s a great example of some. I have one of these with a triple 219b in it on a FET driver. Its really great. Here’s a couple of photos, just because:
Nobody’s done anything like those recently though, afaik. I wish they would.
I can think about producing them if you will help me to find more members that interested in.
There were at least two other sales threads for these with one by Mattaus that was silver plated with a tapped grub screw hole in the driver cavity. Another, later one was done without the screw hole or plating but used Matt’s dimensions otherwise.
I know the weakness in the P60 design is fit… but that can be taken care of to some degree. The sad part is that the pill is always more expensive by at least 2X than the host in many cases. I really do not like the idea of an aluminum pill, but may end up going that way at some point… But, have not found them either.
If I will ever do them, they won’t be more expensive that host.
If you can please do make them. There seems to be demand for these pills. i for one would be in for a couple if they can fit 24mm optics and 20mm mcpcb
Here are some pics with a list of measurements.
This is one of Matt’s P60 drop ins.
Thank you Rufusbduck.
I have Solarforce L2m and drop-in place is 22.6mm.
Guys, please measure you hosts.
May be it will be better to make little bigger drop-in, and you will sanding them individually for you host?
0.6mm difference makes whole work useless.
502B is 24mm. That’s a lot of sanding though I suppose you could make it 22.5 and still wrap for larger pockets.
Waiting more hosts measurements.
One question :
Aren’t all the P60 dropins (NOT hosts) the same size ?
If they are , wouldn’t be better to create the dropins based on the P60 dropin size and not the host’s size ?
No, they aren’t.
If members need copper drop-in, this means (I think so) they are going to use them at high Amps, so stock drop-ins are not good example.
Size is the problem… the bore for the dropin is not standard. The cheaper, the sloppier and the extremes get worse. I will send in some measurements this weekend as well.
