I need to replace some xz051 zener diodes. The online datasheets were confusing, I swear one didn't have a period. I've never heard of a 51v zener. I was thinking a 1n4733 might be a good replacement. Anybody got a manual of replacements?

Re: looking for diode
The diode is used in https://archive.org/details/icom_IC-R70_serv which is D3\D4 in the power supply\regulator. (last page, bottom right of PDF).
The rail they're on for a voltage reference to the regulator has a 16v electrolytic on it, so I doubt they are regulating it to 102 volts!
If you saw 51 volts anywhere in a datasheet it must have been a typo.
I see no reason why a 1N4733 shouldn't work with whatever you're doing.Attached FilesLast edited by Agent24; 02-27-2016, 06:58 PM."Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

Re: looking for diode
Just to point out, I have no idea if rhomanski is repairing an IC-R70... it was just the first place I found XZ051 diodes used, and where it would be obvious if they were 5.1 or 51 volt."Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

Re: looking for diode
NTE's cross reference suggests that the XZ051 crosses to NTE135A which is a 5.1V 1W zener.

Re: looking for diode
Thanks fzabkar, but I try not to use NTE. It's actually for an old direct drive turntable. It has two secondary's on the transformer one zener is used to clamp the output to 5 volts for one secondary another is used in a feedback loop to clamp the output to 20 volts for the other secondary. Since it was designed for 120v input and the line has been raised to 124v since then, I think the zeners will be worked harder than they were meant to be. I found the schematic since the first post.
A few are sprinkled around for basically the same duty in critical points. The five volt line feeds the IC directly. The schematic shows a triangle with 8 numbers and seven lines, one number is not used. On the board the IC is in a metal can like an early transistor only with eight legs instead of three. I doubt if a zener went bad I could ever find a replacement for the IC. I've been trying to work up a modern parts list to rebuild the unit. I have 3 of these tables and one set of guts as a spare. So I have some work to do. I've already rebuilt the other pieces of the system. The tuner was the worst so far. So many obsolete parts to find.
Thanks for the help everybody. Your a swell bunch of guys and gals.Last edited by rhomanski; 02-28-2016, 12:09 AM.sigpicThe Sky Is FallingComment

Re: looking for diode
Any particular reason? I just ordered some transistors from them - hopefully not a bad move!
What's the part number? With 8 pins and a triangle symbol it might just be an early production op-amp, or something else common."Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

Re: looking for diode
Well, for the NTE thing, they don't make anything. They buy the cheapest part that meets the specification. You could be getting anything. I'm a typical middle class consumer, Bounty paper towels, genuine GM parts for the car. I've used NTE before and had no problem but, there's always a but, if you shop at walmart. I try to use Fairchild semi's much better quality control.
The semi is an op-amp and is listed as a upc255a. You got me curious and I googled it. Pacific semiconductors say they have 22 of them at 63 cents each. Wow, the unit is from the mid seventies when I graduated high school. My 40th anniversary is this year. I also found a page with cross reference. Maybe I should stock a few for emergencies.sigpicThe Sky Is FallingComment

I was under the impression they actually manufactured replacement parts that others had discontinued, hence the big price.
Maybe I should cancel my order...

Re: looking for diode
Late post, but the NTE909 is originally an LM709 op-amp. Pretty old, from the days of gold leads and metal cans.
I found NTE parts are good quality but quite expensive because they are private-labeling mainstream parts and providing the cross-reference service.Comment

Re: looking for diode
I used to use ECG for repairing Japanese audio and TV in the early 70s when the original Japanese parts were hard to come by those days unless you get them from the OEM and they were expensive.
ECG was then acquired by NTE.
Young people have it made these days, so much easier for them to get parts and service info on line.Never stop learning

Re: looking for diode
Since I worked on commercial electronics, and systems not board level, parts wasn't much of a problem. We had manuals or microfiche and others got the parts for us. But I can see how much of a pain it would have been. The few projects I worked on for myself, TV's, radio's and the like it was hard to find some parts. I threw away a philco many years ago because I couldn't find a tube. It was discontinued in 1962 and all the manuals said there was no substitute. I tried for four years and finally found one in a garage sale for $1. Put it in and it had lost it's vacuum. I had sound for thirty seconds then silence. So disappointing.sigpicThe Sky Is FallingComment

by unimatrix93Hello everyone, I'm repairing an LG TV backlight and I noticed some strange behavior when I touching the backlight strip with a missing Zener diode.
So I replaced the leds on the strips and they seemingly working fine, but soon as I touch the strip which has a missing Zener diode the whole backlight turns off for a few seconds and then turns back on.
Is this caused by the missing diode? If so what kind of zener diode should I use to replace it?.
The led strips has 9 6V leds.

by sam_sam_samI have bought this Zener Diode for this project what size and wattage resistor value do I need to use to get near 50 watt output
I bought this from an eBay seller but unfortunately they only had one
I bought three from Vetco Electronics these are Sylvania ECG5185A 9.1@10w A to Stud what size and watt resistor do I need to use to get near 10 watt output
I bought three of from them to also make battery packs with this output power limit in mind
I want to use this battery pack and turn it into a 9.1 output battery pack output to eliminate using 9 volt battery... -
by nev1001Hi, I'm looking for a bit of help trying to fix the audio unit from a Maestro Mayhem 4.1 gaming chair please.
The chair has a few speakers and vibration motors. All was well, for a while, but now the sound is gone.
It may be significant that I discovered my son was powering it with a 19V laptop charger when it should run on 12V - it did fully work, for bit.
I think an issue could be a zener diode (or capacitor) which has shorted out.
The board's bluetooth input still works, the vibration motors are working, so is the line out socket but not the...-

by Vincenzo2My Element 32 inches tv (ELEFW328B) lost it's backlight (confirmed with a flashlight test) and the connector on the PCB (it has one board that has a processor chip, switch mode power supply, and backlight circuit) that has the two wires that go to the backlight LED strips has a very low voltage (28-29 volts) when turned ON, in my opinion.
Started testing components and found an SMD diode or zener that is shorted (even zero fusing resistors read a few tens of milliohms, while this thing reads zero).
I put some pictures here to show that it is labeled "M7".... -
by hobostoveHey there guys. I've got a Corsair power supply that's come across my bench dead. I usually don't mess with power supplies, but it's a slow week so I'm giving it a whirl.
Taking it apart I heard a screw rattling around inside, and when I got it apart I found a couple blown components near what I think is the 5VSB area.
There's a 22ohm resistor that's melted and open, but it still has the bands.
The other part is a zener diode and it's top went to jesus, so I can't read the marking.
It looks like the diode connects the source and drain of a TNY284... - Loading...
