Familiar with GE series SCRs?

Duo · 26th November 2006, 03:11 AM

I have a couple of substantial looking SCRs made by GE, probably dating back to the late sixties. I pulled them from some of the popular rackmount lambda power supplies of the day, in the end using the lambda cases for large amplifiers.

The numbers on these ar FBP-00-010. I wonder if anyone knows any pattern to their numbering scheme? Or if someone actually knows or has a list of the numbers. I can't seem to find information on the net.

I simply would like to know the maximum reverse voltage and forward current for this SCR.

Thanks all.

Anyone?

Hi Duo,
Lambda normally used "house numbers" for their parts. So your parts may be a Lambda number, not a GE number at all.

I really hate to say this, but have you checked for an NTE cross ref? AN old ECG book may have a cross.

CHecked all that, I'm quite sure this is a GE number too. I have found other GE SCRs under the same numbering scheme.

The transistors in that supply didn't use house numbers either.

Hi Duo,
I Googled your number and get offers to quote on them, but no specs.
