Ecm2-

I noticed your post on the other thread responding to "schoolie" regarding a circuit.

Maybe you can help me out here. I want to build the typical LM317 voltage regulator for my two Panalfo's that are attached to my heater core.

I would need to go with the LM350 since I will have a load greater than 1.5 amps. These fans are rated at .45 amps each but when the voltage is reduced current will rise etc...

Anyway I cannot locate a 1 microfared ploarized aluminum or tantalum capacitor. Also I think I should use a heat sink bigger than 3Watt, and need to locate it as well.

If I could find these parts I could build the thing myself. I was going to order a (4) port control from Caseetc, but I see no need to have to control the L's I have in the case.

So if you can help on that I would appreciate it. Radio Shack, at least my local store, does not have the cap or HS larger than 3W. When I think of all those aluminum dimmer heat sinks I tossed after replacing them I could ...

TIA
Jim
