    Generic semiconductors...good or bad?

    I have a choice here....buy an NTE replacement transistor or wait a week for the new old stock genuine Sanyo to arrive form Florida.

    What's your take on this?

    What's the transistor? If it's a small signal transistor being used in a switching circuit, go with the NTE. If it's for a specialized application like a horizontal output transistor, the original is barely good enough.

    Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

      Hence why I asked....its a HOT for a 32" Trinitron.

      Ive heard BAD things about generics in HOT applications so I think Im gonna give Acme Enterprises some more business.

          any chance this is 2SC5148?

          Use RCA part number 237470. This is another way to get if your supplier have it in stock already.

          Cheers, Wizard

              this is one of possible highly fakes as well, get the geniune from B & D.

              I had 2 fakes (2SC3850 as well IIRC).

                Better yet, look up the specs of the part and replace with higher rating of voltage and current. Other specs should be similar or close to the original. You can try www.datasheet4u.com or www.alldatasheet.com

                  Behringer Eurolive B205D repair - help identifying transistor
                  by magneh
                  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....

                  help to identify transistor msi ms-15ck1
                  by elsomer
                  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...

                  Help with blowing transistor NAD T752 receiver
                  by rddube
                  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...

                  hello there,

                  xbox series x hdmi u82 transistor 5 pin,

                  can anybody tell me voltages of this transistor in standby and power on mode ???

                  on which pin of this transistor are the voltages ?
