    Re: Failed Motorola 10261 ... transistor?

    since we are cutting transistors this may be of interst.

      Damn, self necro after I found my own post researching repair of an old linear PSU.

      I just ran into another 10261 (and three 10262) on a power supply I recently got to do some "solar panel emulator" so I can test at night.

      The PSU only makes sense if the 10261 and 10262 are all NPN as the circuit looks like they're darlington connected emitter follower. All collectors are tied together. One emitter connected to three bases and three emitters connected through resistors to output.

      The 10261 and 10262 behave like NPN (or dead...) based on a diode checker DMM. However I saw some sites where 10262 is ... PNP ??? This can't be right.

        10261 = NTE130 -- NPN 100V 15A TO-3 Audio Power Amp, Medium Speed Switch

        10262 = NTE219 -- PNP 100V 15A TO-3 General Purpose Amp and Switch, complement to NTE130

          I have a pair of old linear 5 volt power supplies. One is up and running in a supply for 20's radios the other is not working.

          They use Motorola 10261 (ECG 130) and 10262 (ECG 219) transistors.

          The 10262 is supposed to be PNP and tests bad as such. What confuses me is that it tests perfect on my Sencore Tansistor Tester when tested as a NPN transistor. The 10261 tests OK as NPN.
          I see several listings for SGS versions of the same 10261 and 10262 transistors. This suggests that they may be the house numbers of the PSU manufacturer.

            NTE/ECG used to be real good at dealing with custom numbers as well as indicating part manufacturer. But it still stands, my Motorola 10262 and 10261 both could only be and are NPN.

            BTW the PSU is made by Power-One which has been bought out by Bel Power. And I substituted a 10262 with a 2n3055, and no magic smoke came out yet...

              Back in the day this was a very popular part number you still find surplus electronic stores that specialize in obsolete parts I still see them around

                It seems that NTE/ECG went to a lot of trouble to supply a matched complementary pair. This suggests that there must exist a genuine PNP 10262, but obviously not the same one as the OP's. Maybe there is an audio power amp that uses these same numbers for different parts?

                NTE219MCP is a matched complementary pair containing 1 each of NTE219 (PNP) and NTE130 (NPN).​

                    If it was a popular part...why is there no documentation about it and why are some wrong...?

                    hmm...calculating backwards I need a transistor that can handle 4 amps... and already in my spare parts bin...

                    Then the other question is if I had a pile of darlingtons, do I rewire the PSU to use discrete darlingtons instead of using its discrete transistor to be the predriver of the darlington...

                      While some Motorola parts are documented well, others are not. NTE / ECG is not 100% correct. Why I don't know, but had a run I'm with a Motorola MSR2000 power supply where the pass transistor failed. One of my friends used the NTE part suggested and I used a different part that I chose by my own judgment. His went and mine was fine. I sent him some of my transistors and all was fine. That was back then when you still could buy NTE.
                      I hate the Motorola parts numbering scheme. Some are easy to identify others are just about unidentifiable. Crazy. I still have plenty of old equipment running that uses TO3 style transistors and still got plenty of NOS at work. Unless you find an old techie that's was used to repairing these 50 year old things…you're just about SOL. I got old Motorola paging units that go on to a VHF radio for hospitals and fire departments, some of them I had to junk, because of one unidentifiable I.C. I think there is a post about it around here somewhere. See… even I don't know all of them Motorola equivalents.
                      Sometimes you're better off to find a device that uses this part. Then study the schematic and see what that circuit does and go from there. Problem with that is that not everything has a schematic available anymore because they are that old.
                      I still have NOS ECG packaged things by boxes full.

                        Yeah I ended up tracing the pcb a bit and realized that the circuit indeed was a series pass emitter follower circuit.

                        I might have to rethink this a bit, after trying to run the PSU at ~120 watts output, the 2n3055 started heating up a bit while the actual 10262 felt a bit cooler. Unfortunately I don't have any 2n3773's to try, and the pins of the 2n3771 I have are way too short (since it was a pull from a direct PCB mount with no heatsink), may have to add on some prosthetic pins and see if it will still fit and work...

                          and yeah, if the 10262 is more like a 2n3771 then yeah, the 2n3055 is probably not a proper sub. Then again perhaps the 10261 is a 2n3055 sub. Argh, whole point of the exercise is to find specs :\

                          Still haven't tried putting prosthetic legs on the 2n3771. Hmm. To start sacrificing other psus for parts or not...

                              most of the TO-3 pile I have are germanium PNP or Darlingtons for some reason. Have a few HOT NPNs (i.e. high voltage) and the 2N3055's.

                              I suspect the SCR and MOSFET TO-3's will never work...

                                Stick with the 3055 then.

                                  The 3055 didn't like being paralleled with the 10262's... Not sure I want to burn all my 3055s by replacing them all so that the paralleled transistors match in type...(apparently the emitter resistors aren't sufficient to allow the 10262 and 3055s to be paralleled?)

                                  Aoso have a whole bunch of transistors that I have never identified fully... Have one typed "7652" though it too has cut leads and would need prosthetics to fit in the socket vacated by the 10262's...

                                  Also have PMD1702K and PMD1602K's ... and some of the 2n605x series. These are all darlingtons which I'd have to redesign the circuit somewhat to use...

                                        No. these are very much so alive just like some other real old transistor numbering.

                                          Thet also have this one as well

                                          This is not a complete part number “10262” according to Quest electronic website it shows that they are connectors of some type

                                          They have this one

The protection circuit is kicking in and the standby light is blinking. It goes into protection mode within a second of powering it on.

                                            So far the relay on the power board that enables the main transformer clicks on and then off when powering on the unit. Looking at the schematics, the permanently enabled power rail called 'unreg sub' provides about 13.5VDC. Where the power comes into the main board on connector CN303, there is a diode...

                                            Got an old Motorola page out controller here. Something honking old. Came in as no workie. Without schematic or anything. So I did some probing around and found two 14 pin DIP IC's that I need an replacement for.

                                            Got no idea what these are.I got semi lucky and found a 22F44 on a donor. Unfortunately the 22F43 is already missing. If anybody knows what these are and find a cross would be greatly appreciated!

                                            Hello
                                            Got this speaker from a friend , defective. Power led comes on and off , in a loop.
                                            Disassembled, got the board out, and after a bit of measuring I found a low resistance on a 5v6 line. With a bit of current I found a transistor heating up on that line (labeled T1 and 113 as on pic).
                                            After removing this guy, I got a value of 0.7 in diode mode on that 5v6 line, which before had 0.02 or something like that.

                                            I tested powering it up without the IC, and the speaker turns on and stays on, and works fine

                                            Still, I need to replace this transistor....

                                            hi people, i need some help to identify a transistor(q14) that is missing on the board, so the gpu has no voltage i think that q14 activate the phases for gpu, but i dont have schematic or boardview, but i think its the same transistor than q15 and q16, thanks...

                                            Hello everyone,

                                            I guess I need help from the masters to try and find what is frying a 2SC5669 transistor on the left channel of this front center Amp for a NAD T752.

                                            Was working perfectly and all of a sudden I heard a pop, and then a glow from the amp. Not only did the 2SC5669 burn a leg, but R520 which is a 220 ohm resistor partially burned - it now measures 110 ohms.

                                            I bought this amp second hand fairly cheap as it was not working, it went into protection mode. I finally traced it down to the same transistor Q510, the one that just popped. It was shorted...
