ELECTRICAL PARTS LIST
All electrical and electronic parts are listed in the sequence of their circuit numbers as shown on the schematic diagram. A brief description of each part is given, followed by the code number of the manufacturer and his part number. All manufacturers’ code numbers are taken from Cataloging Handbooks H4-1 and H4-2, Federal Supply Code for Manufacturers. These handbooks are available through Federal Agencies. They may also be ordered directly from the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.

We recommend that all parts having the code number 98095 be ordered directly from Power Designs Inc. The commercial equivalents of these parts have either wide parameter tolerances or require special factory inspection or modification before they are suitable for use in the power supply.

All components used in the power supply or supplied as replacements are carefully inspected at the factory. Inspections are performed on a 100% basis or at AQL levels in accordance with Military Specification MIL—Q—9858 under which Power Designs Inc. has been qualified.

All semiconductors are inspected on a 100% basis. They are inspected not only for operating parameters, but also for critical characteristics related to reliability and predictable life expectancy. Some of those characteristics are observed when the device is taken beyond its normal operating regions. These test techniques have been developed under a “predictable—reliability” program in operation at Power Designs Inc. for the past ten years. Under this program, quality- control procedures arc constantly revaluated and updated as new advances are made in solid—state technology and additional experience is gleaned from field history.

Semiconductor manufacturers are constantly modifying their products. Complete lines are frequently discontinued to be replaced by devices having improved gain, operating voltage levels and frequency response. The high—gain, closed—loop DC amplifiers used in regulator circuits are particularly sensitive to slight changes in these parameters. Commercial or military “equivalent” transistors used as replacements may affect the power supply performance. Compliance with the original specifications can be assured if replacement semiconductors are ordered from the factory.
