Tech data for TT series transistors wanted

Aug 03, 2006 4 Replies

TT series transistors were made by STC in Australia in the 60's - 70's era so the chance of any datasheet website having documentation is nil. Only techs from Aus will have come across them.



Specifically looking for data on TT403, a PNP TO5 can type, but other types also welcome.



Thanks for any help you can give...

** The TT800 ( NPN ) and TT801 (PNP) were among my personal favourites from about 1971 to 1978.

TO5 pack,

Vce = 80 volts

Ic = 1.0 amps

hfe = 100

Ft = 40 MHz

Pd = 1 watt.

Just *curious*, Phil, were you ever able to track down the issue with that vile Ashdown amp?

** Err - you mean the "Fallen Angel 60 " ???

PCB leakage was identified as the source of the hum problem & I ended up cutting the tracks running to pin 7 of each of the input tubes and replacing them with silicon coated wire links. Also, I added extra filtering after the bridge with two 150 uF, 400 volt electros in series glued to the hassis - increasing the capacitance from 24 uF to 100uF. That did the trick.

Interestingly, the owner was an American girl named "Cadence" who referred to the amp as " my baby " !!
