Hi
I can understan why the maintransistors (tip102) sometimes breaks due to the high current it has to handle to activate selenoids, but what makes the IC (u3 3081 Fathom) to break?
My actual q is...is there any thing to think of to avoid these IC's to break?
They are expensive and hard to find.
Thanks
Quoted from jj44114:ebay.com link ยป 5pcs Ca3081 Dip 16 General Purpose High Npn Transistor Arrays
tried these. All good so far. $2 a piece.
Thanks for the link...just order to have as a spare for the future...
