HT standby and triode/UL mode switch ...

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

What specs do I need to order a standby switch like those used in the MFA M120. Bruce switches 565 VDC B+ in the HT rail, it's bypassed with a 100 ohm resistor and a small cap.
Same with switching from triode to UL ... I know the amp has to be off, but again that's a very high voltage rating needed, or am I missing something?
Thanks for any input.
