Hypex MCH Supply In Stock

I meant to get these on the site a couple weeks ago but got sidetracked. These babies turned out perfect. The PCB layout is courtesy of Jorrit @ Hypex. Layout, design and features pretty much match the Hypex HG supply with the obvious difference of being scalable for 1-5 channel applications. We also differ in that I'm fond of the Panasonic TSHA main capacitors. More to come as I get time to do web development.

kevin,
looks very interesting.. but get a dead link (Product not found!).

A quick question: I'm planning a UCD 180 amp, and had initially thought of a dual mono set-up with 2 HG supplies -- but wonder if you think having dual supplies is significantly better than a single HG supply or the one above????

Thanks!

I pulled the product because we found a Q/C problem on the DC protection circuit. Once we have the problem identified and solved I'll put them back on the site.

If you are going to do a dual mono set-up do it right and build it in two different chassis. I don't know how to quantify the difference. It runs the cost up quite a bit to do a true dual mono set-up. If you have the money and the time there are theoretical benefits to running a dual mono set-up. I'm not sure the benefits are always audible. It will depend on the system.

How's the MCH supply coming along? I'm thinking about building a three channel box with the UCD400 modules. Your MCH supply looks like a perfect match. On a separate but related subject, does anyone have a solution for a 12v trigger for the UCD modules? It would be a great addition to a soft start module.

Thanks

Our fix is in and the MCH should be available within a couple weeks. I have a prototype 12V trigger that uses a simple relay to toggle the UCD standby feature on/off. It can also control one LED to indicate standby mode. In standby mode the modules only use a couple watts of power but the power supply remains powered up.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the quick response! Are you planing to offer the trigger? It would be great if that feature was part of a soft start module.

I will offer the trigger. It works directly with the UCD modules, not the softstart.
