Exterminate! Passive Ring Stripboard Modulator

(I took Spanish classes 50 years ago in high school but I’m not going to attempt to answer in that language…)

Quoting Matthew Skala (who was talking about using a different transformer, Triad SP-66, for a ring modulator, but the general idea ought to apply):

Substituting transformers with somewhat different impedance should be fine if it’s at least a few kΩ. If you can find 15kΩ or 20kΩ that may actually be better than 10kΩ.

But the TY-145P’s impedance is only 600 Ω (versus 10k for the TY-141P). So I would say, no, the 145P would not be suitable.

Of course if you already have a couple you could try them out anyway, but I wouldn’t buy them for this.
