[Elecraft] OT: Obsolete Transistor MS1700G

2006-06-16 Thread Howard W. Ashcraft
I am working on a power supply with a linear regulator circuit containing two MS1700G power transistors that have shorted. I don't think they are in any way exotic, and I'm sure there is a modern replacement. But I can't find any specification information anywhere to begin the replacement

Transistor substitution: If there is at least one good junction in the device you want to replace; you measure the diode potential of that junction to see if you have a silicon or germanium device: 0.3 volts is typical for Germanium, perhaps a bit less. 0.6 volts is a Silicon junction. Now
