Fake LM 3886 IC at Electronicscomp.com

I got dupped

I recently bought 2pcs LM3886 IC from
LM3886 IC - 68W High Performance Audio Power Amplifier IC buy online at Low Price in India - ElectronicsComp.com

They show LM3886T on the website. Then supply LM3886TF.
Further it is fake. When i put in circuit it blown my mains fuse & also track on PCB. Then I checked the 2nd piece along with one that was with me working.
Even the leads length was short.

So don't buy from this supplier. Be cautious.

Very bad response when made complaint.


Hi Palesha,

I placed order for 3 and transaction was done but then for 6 days no delivery so when I called them they said they are out of stock.

Now awaiting refund. 1650/- in the air.

I wish I had read your post earlier. :(
 
No stock at Mouser, RS, element14, Farnell in India last I checked.
Diyaudiocart has for 425 as of yesterday, listed, did not click to buy...


Indiamart has seller at 140, must be fake.
Or buy Keltron kit from Salcon, 1900 or so assembled with heat sink, stereo.

I had a bad exp with these guys also.
Purchased a 3 x 600 Mah bat from them cause the 200 mah 8 year old bat in my blue tooth headphone was only lasting 30 min.
Their bat. Which was twice the size and supposed to be 600 mah. Only lasts 10 min.
When I contacted them asking if I could at least return the extra 2 Which I had not even opened. I was told sorry we do not take back bats.
Avoid these guys like the plague.
If you want the right part I normally order form digikey or rs components. Or even shelf key. These are all trusted names. That will never let you down.
I was going to order the LM and TDA IC from them. But instead ordered it from vaspelectronics. Old man Vasp is honest about what he sells. Im very happy with what ever I got from him. Haven't tested it yet. But it looks good. And he stands by what he sells. If its not original he will tell you. He will also test each part before shipping.
Just ask him if its original or not and he will tell you. Whatever he sells he tests before shipping.

have bought from DiyAudioCart but compared to my LM1876 TI Sample and LM3886 ( Micheal ) it doesn’t look good.

First image of single LM3886 is from DAC, second is comparison of DAC and USA purchase ($20 a pair) bought 4pairs and using one pair works 😍.
third is the LM1876 Texas sample.

the thing to see is DAC chips has a rub mark where the serial # is printed and laser etch is not as bright as the other two. Not used them yet but planning to test them in a different board. Currently using a composite amp LM3886 My Rev Ref A
