Description

The DS3800NTEA by GE is a termination board designed to fit into the Mark IV series.The MKIV is General Electric’s gas/steam dedicated control system designed to efficiently handle speed control, startup, temperature control, control sequencing, power supply, and shutdown. It can also handle GT protection. A significant improvement over the MKI and MKII, the MKIV by design has a significantly lowered rate of GT outage. It offers high reliability with improved application flexibility through a better-designed operator interface.

There is one circuit populating the DS3800NTEA.This is an octal buffer/line driver/line receiver (3-state.) It is 5.3 mm wide and has a 20-lead small outline package. Typical power dissipation is 130mW inverting and 135 mW non-inverting. The circuit has an input voltage of 7V.

The DS3800NTEA is imprinted on one edge with “6BA00.” It is also alignment marked along its top edge and numbered behind its one mating connector. This connector is labeled 218A4553-1 A/mp 102041-1. Nylon inserter/extractor clips are attached to the board. These give the technician a handle during insertion, which protects components, and adds a pivot point to push against the chassis frame to pull the PCB out during removal.

The DS3800NTEA is built with two rows of spare PTH. Plated-through holes are designed to allow components to make contact with the interior conductive layers of the board. The DS3800NTEA has resistors of both metal film and carbon composite material. Capacitors may be fixed vacuum or made of other material.

GE furnished all technical support for the DS3800NTEA, including publications like manuals and datasheets.
