Someone asked me about the following. It looks to me like a bridge
rectifier but either it is something else or died in a really strange way:
"I'm repairing a desktop centrifuge (Eppendorf 5417).
There is a component on it which is completely unfamiliar to me.
Web searching and manufacturers' searching has turned up nothing.
The device is marked as though it were a diode bridge, but it doesn't test
out like it is composed of diodes. Here it is:
0.8"
|---------------|
| JEL |
| JC201SC | 0.6"
| 1.5A250VAC H4 |
| ~ + - |
|---------------|
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
Physically, the package is a "box" .6" h, .8" w, .3" thickness. It is a
SIP type mounting, with all 4 pins at the bottom.
But it doesn't test like a bridge either based on a DMM or AC input."
Any information on what it might be if not a regular bridge would be
appreciated. I don't need to know how to test it.
Thanks.
