Since the EN companion parts aren't available anymore, seems now we have to make our own. I'm kinda tired of doing that, with the standard size parts I have available anyway. So I want to order up some parts to hopefully make them smaller, I'd do SMD but I'm not sure which ones to order.
The SMD issue would be making a tiny PCB to mount that stuff to, I just don't know that I could do that easily and quickly. Then I'd have to know what size parts to order, I know little to nothing about SMD too. So if anyone here can offer useful information about that, I'd love to hear it.
I've read a few threads here about the EN369FN and the R2 component being mislabeled at 230K and it needs to be 20K. I believe someone posted that they used 22K instead. For the EN369DR, the R2 value is 320K but Mouser only carries a 330K, I assume this will be ok for this part?
I'm thinking of using 1/4 watt parts, what do you think about doing this? I haven't seen anyone say what the factory/OEM pieces are as far as wattage goes, surely those tiny little things aren't bigger than 1/4w. My issue with what I've built in the past has been they're so darn big and goofy, they get in the way and just look, well, retarded. I want something smaller and neater looking, something closer to the OEM pieces. Can you guys post the ones you've built, pics, showing what the end product looked like? Anyone have suggestions for the SMD stuff, part numbers, sizes, how to make a PCB for them? Anything?
Thanks...
