Title: Help needed finding a diode for sanwa monitor (RESOLVED)
Post by: gratzme on July 14, 2010, 05:43:54 pm
Hi guys i have a sanwa 29e31s and im trying to find a diode for it. The location on the PCB is D401 and the sanwa service manual lists it as FMV-3GMR. I have Toshiba part number of    23357019 and 23357019X. I just cant find a supplier for it or a cross referance for it.

Does anyone have any advice or know where i can get one ordered and shipped to the UK? I have a feeling they are no longer available.

Regards, Chris

Give Craig @ www.giz10p.co.uk (http://www.giz10p.co.uk) a call. He fixes monitors as well as specialising in Sega spares and may be able to help you out.

The data I found indicates it's a double damper diode for the horizontal deflection probably 1700V rated.  Chances are Fairchild or ST makes a suitable cross.  What's the package and pinout?

Hi, ive already contacted craig and he said that he does not sell the componants sadly, but thanks for the reply.

Thank you for the reply, im unsure what you mean by package and pinout?

Ah I see, I thought it may have be worth a try. :)

I hope you get it sorted but If you get really stuck I may have a complete 29e31s chassis avaliable soon.

What type of package is it in?  It's probably either a TO-220 or a TO-247 (google for images).  I also would need to know which pin does what in order to cross it.  They're usually the same, but it would suck if this one's different.

Those Sanken parts can be hard to find outside of Japan/Korea/China, unfortunately.

There is a post in the below thread that has a pic in it which i hope may help

As for the pinout im unsure, i have the sanwa service manual, but the scan of the page is terrible. I will have to research what pinout does what.

Sanken have discontinued fmv3gmr, so it would be old stock, which is hard to find

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, i spent hours looking and going on chineese and jap sites using google to translate the pages. Non of which ship to the UK. FMV-3GMR is still available but hard to get to the UK.

I bit the bullet and contacted Craig at giz10p. He has 2 new tri sync chassis that have been in a customer ordered cab and used for 30mins then removed. These are 95+VAT. I ordered one and its on its way to me now.

So i have a sanwa chassis available for spares or repairs if anyone interested.

Thanks,

Chris
