These are a few of the tid-bits that are going together to form our kit. These are not yet in stock but in production. This heatsink/adaptor plate simplifies UCD construction considerably. It takes all the hard work out of mounting modules and the worry out of controlling heat dissipation.
With these two parts what used to take a couple hours of machine work with a template & drill press now takes five minutes with a screwdriver. The end result looks better too.
The adaptor plate allows mounting of either UCD180 or UCD400 (both hole patterns are pre-drilled). You can mount from one to five modules on a single adaptor plate and the mounting holes are recessed for a flush face. The reason? Next picture....
It has to be flush to mount the modules to our custom tooled heatsink assembly. You can either use one or two heatsinks depending upon how many modules you mount to the adaptor plate. For one, two or three channel UCD400 builds you can use just one heatsink and keep cool temps.
With four or five channel builds we recommend two heatsinks.
For UCD180 builds you just don't need the heatsinks. You can simply mount the adaptor plate to the bottom of the amplifier chassis, which match the hole pattern on the adaptor plate.
The same hole pattern in the chassis matches the pre-drilled and tapped heatsink hole pattern for mounting the UCD400 build-ups.
With only two parts we manage to allow mounting options for one through five-channel amplifier builds using either UCD180 or UCD400 modules. We also provide heat management for any of those configurations and remove the largest single labor requirement for assembling the UCD amplifiers. Now it takes about 5-10 minutes to mount five UCD400 amplifiers and secure them to the chassis.
Just wait until you see the chassis.
