Diecast boxes are typically made from Aluminum Alloy 380 (also known as A380). This is a common alloy used in diecasting due to its good balance of strength, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and workability. Alloy 380 also has good resistance to environmental corrosion, which makes it ideal for enclosures protecting electronics in various conditions.

The typical composition of Aluminum Alloy 380 includes:

Aluminum (Al): about 80-89% (balance)
Silicon (Si): 7.5-9.5%
Copper (Cu): 3-4%
Zinc (Zn): = 3%
Magnesium (Mg): = 0.1%
Iron (Fe): 1-2% (max)
Manganese (Mn): = 0.5%
Nickel (Ni): = 0.5%
Tin (Sn): = 0.35%

These elements contribute to its strength, machinability, and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal material for diecast enclosures and housings, especially in electronics and automotive applications.

The articles that I posted on op amp testing may have a bit too much text for a lot of casual readers to wade through, so I sent out my magic elves to find some nerds to create a podcast that you can listen to for a better take on the subject.

Listen to the discussion about a null tester that I built to determine if I could detect a difference in op amp chips.

TLDR: A few days ago I paid the hosting service for the next 2 years for this site, so the info will be available at least that long.

Instagram deleted one of my channels. Not the one that I have mentioned below, but a similar channel where I posted a.i. generated images that we not music related. There was nothing controversial on the pages so there was no reason for it to be removed. They sent me some vague message that said my posts were suspected bot activity, which they were not because I had posted every one of the images individually and from my own computer.

There is a very good chance that the images that I made for pedals (linked below) will be deleted by Instagram in the near future, though they are still up as I write this. If you want one of the images, grab it now. I may put a bunch of the best ones on my CD so that people can have access to them. They won’t all fit because there are more than 1000 pedal images at this time.

I will let you know if the situation changes and/or the site gets taken down.

The free graphics site has been updated and now has hundreds of free images for your DIY pedals. Enjoy!

Best regards, Jack

I added a lot of images to the site over the weekend. Check it out!

I have created a new Instagram page with free graphics for use on your DIY pedals. (not for commercial use!) There is not much there at this time but I will be adding more soon.

Check it out, and send me a photo if you use one of the graphics.
