Where to get parts

I have a list of parts sources for class E transmitters. The parts for these transmitters are generally available from common, reliable sources such as Mouser, Digikey, Future Electronics and Newark Electronics. There are also numerous surplus outlets which have parts from time to time. Also check the List of sources of parts for more information.

Parts that I currently have:

MOSFETs
Driver ICs
Transistors
Damper Diodes
Power Transformers
PC boards / parts kits

Class E Boards and Part Kits:

These kits consist of PC boards, and optionally, all parts for the boards. Both PWM and class H modulator kits are available. Both the PWM and class H modulators interface to the Overload Shutdown / Efficiency Meter board, and, except in very special applications, the Overload / Efficiency Meter board must be used to protect the modulator and transmitter from damage in the event of an overload.
