got a schematic for an amplifier.What is:
an Unelco a coil with 3 turns #16 enameled wire,3/16" ID (everything unclear except the 3 turns) dura mica I'm not sure if Unelco refers to a brand name, or if it is a type of construction unique to a certain brand. But whenever I run into Unelco caps, they are always these 'square pads' that have a tab on the side. The capacitance is from the construction. The square pad is soldered down, and the tab is insulated from the square tab, the insulation being the diaelectric. You usually find these in high power amplifiers as bypass on the final stages where there may be respectable RF current. As to the coil, there's usually one other 'spec' that you seem to be missing. That's the 'turns per inch'. But in it's absence, you can still easily make the coil. In this case, just get a 3/16" bar and wrap your 16ga wire around it 3 times and you have your coil. If it's not specified, try to make the coils spaced 1 width apart. Some people wrap TWO wires to make the coil, then unwrap one, leaving space for a wire between the wraps. With 16ga wire it's not easy, but if you can find a 'coarse thread bolt' in 3/8" diameter, wrap the wire to follow the threads. Then unscrew the bolt out of the coil. If you need wider spacing, you can gently 'pull' the thing to stretch it out. I had one kit one time that specified the coils by what bolts to wind them on... |
