Component id on power supply

[Julianhull51]

Evening guys, I’m trying to restore a power supply on a Technics cassette deck and need help identifying the component shown with a blue arrow on the drawing. I assume it’s a resistor by the drawing but it’s in a transistor type casing marked: N 10 W

Any help greatly appreciated

Don't think a resistor. The schematic shows an optional resistor for EK,XL R603 that goes from a 1w to a 2w. Your blue arrow is marked as ICP601 as well which makes me think it is a semi at least. Maybe a NTC to slow start the circuit?

 

[Julianhull51]

Thanks for this, would you have a suggestion for a replacement for what I see on the board, part no on component N10 W

Also EK refers to UK model. Confused here

I don't suppose it helps that there's another one (ICP602) on there, so can you show us a pic?
Could it be some special diode?
Schematic suggests you can just short it out...??

PCB mount fuse?

I’ll take a photo tomorrow and post. Thanks for help so far. Chat tomorrow. Cheers guy’s

There might be a better description in the parts list, if you have the entire service manual.

IC protector ?

Yes, it’s just called an ic protector with a Technics part number

Here’s the culprit: N 10 W

Hi, yes I’ve realised it’s a 400 ma fuse, trying to find something suitable. Any suggestions

You just can use a super fast 400mA fuse.

 

[Julianhull51]

Guys, I’ve ordered the correct part and stuck a 200ma fuse in temporarily and all good. Thanks for all of your help

Now you must discover why the fuse acted.

Agreed Osvaldo, I bought it like this, voltage is a little high at 15v, schematic shows just over 12v

If you have at hand one of those small filamentary lamps used in xmas trees, try one in place of the fuse temporarily to see if something is abnormal. If all OK, thus a small nonflamable resistor, say, 10ohm may replace it definitively if fuse is hard to find.

Thanks, was only thinking about those old Xmas tree bulbs the other day! I’ve sourced the part, £5.99 inc postage 😳 got that 200 ma fuse in place at the moment original rating is 400 ma. Xmas tree bulb would be mega handy though and a great idea

It´s called an IC-protector, but it is a fuse. Name came from them usually sitting in serial with supply for sensitive devices.
These come in all different sizes.
The N10 is a 400mA fuse.
N10-fuse
EDIT: Sorry... see now, that I was a bit late to the party 😆
