Calling electronics guys, need assistance.
Ken Layton:
It is a TRIAC and it crosses to any one of these replacements:
NTE 5605
NTE 5606
NTE 5607
Motorola T2500D
Yours is probably open or not turning on. Your correct part number is actually: BT134-600E
SirPeale:
Thanks, Ken. Any way to test this?
And where can I pick one up?
Ken Layton:
Triacs can be tricky to test. Alot of times it's easier to substitute a known good or brand new one if a bad one is suspected. They don't cost much. I think the NTE replacements are around $2.50 and you can buy them at any NTE distributor (www.nteinc.com)
SirPeale:
Well, I finally ordered it. Should be here, along with my new soldering station, next Wednesday.
SirPeale:
Got here today! Broke out the soldering station (I need a finer tip) and replaced the triac. Success! Mostly. Still doesn't light up, but that's because the bulb is blown. Once I replace that it should be golden, I already measured current at the bulb fixture.
Thanks again, Ken!
