About the DS3800HSPC1D1F

Hardware Tips and Specifications

DS3800HSPC1D1F is a speed position input board. It is a part of the Speedtronic Mark IV series and was made by General Electric. The DS3800HSPC1D1F has, in its standard Mark IV Series assembly:

•  25 integrated circuits
  • contain within them several very small components such as:
    • resistors
    • capacitors
    • diodes
• a capacitor banded with various colors
  • bands signify the energy capacity of the device
• two transistors
  • one of the transistors is silver and cylindrical in shape, designated as Q2
  • other transistor is black and has a half-moon shape, labeled as Q1
• red-banded diodes
• a series of test points
  • enable the board's functionality to be tested.

On the right end of the board is a blue male jack connector port. A few jumper pins are on the board, featuring a black jumper to make connections between pins. A blue potentiometer, also known as a variable resistor is found on the right end of the DS3800HSPC1D1F. Potentiometers are sometimes used to control variables such as volume. In a printed circuit board, they enable the resistance of the variable resistor to be adjusted.
