They are a bit small and fiddly for me though so I reckon 1206 is what I would stick to in any future layouts.<br /><br />SMD Transistors and electrolytics are still quite expensive though, but I'd probably always prefer to use through-hole components for them anyway. It's just a worry that more and more through hole transistors are becoming obsolete, all the common JFETs we use for instance. So stock up everybody! :o)IvIarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416945174853142251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-623901751455930422013-04-29T22:40:37.860+01:002013-04-29T22:40:37.860+01:00Thanks for the idea IvIark.

Should cut way down on the number of standing resistors in my layouts. Plus the components are so cheap.josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303748980024971447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-75211743609213550062013-04-27T13:36:10.085+01:002013-04-27T13:36:10.085+01:00I'm going to do it today so I'll post pics...I'm going to do it today so I'll post picsIvIarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416945174853142251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-28390678137692045492013-04-27T13:35:44.921+01:002013-04-27T13:35:44.921+01:00Incidentally you could make this quite a bit more ...Incidentally you could make this quite a bit more compact if you're feeling a bit more masochistic and use 0805 size passives or even smaller. You will definitely need to use a Dremel for the track cuts under the 330R and 10n cap though. I opted for 1206 though simply because they are the sort of size that won't be too fiddly for me to work with, in terms of soldering, placing and even getting out of the bag without losing! :o)IvIarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416945174853142251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-59104060975941545902013-04-27T13:32:59.243+01:002013-04-27T13:32:59.243+01:00Thanks! can't wait to see it built!Thanks! can't wait to see it built!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03312269553626471142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-91053187331754791022013-04-27T13:30:31.041+01:002013-04-27T13:30:31.041+01:00Yes there's one surface mount cap which is the...Yes there's one surface mount cap which is the 10n output cap.
