Identification of transistors

Jul 02, 2005 5 Replies

TIA.



I have three transistors that I have been unable to identify.



I understand that the 185 prefix identifies the chips as Motorola and I think that the MEX means that they are made in Mexico.



All of the markings on chip 1 (T03 package)



1853-0511 MEX
8535

All of the markings on chip 2 (T03 package)



1854-0774 MEX
8533

All of the markings on chip 3



4-892 HP RCA 523

Can anyone help?


1853 and 1854 look like Hewlett Packard Numbers. the 4-892 is probably as well. My cross reference list does not have the 1853-0511. and the 1854-0774 I can't read. it looks like 2N6056. Sorry Colin

well.

Thanks Colin. OK I forgot to tell you that I grabbed the components out of an old HP pen plotter. The 4 on the 1854-0774 and the 11 on the 1853-0511 look like they were added after the other numbers (type spacing and thickness of font).

These are all HP part #s. 4-892 is probably shorthand for 1854-0892, which is what they did when the part was too small for the whole number.

Not on my list

2N6056

Could 1853-0511 be the PNP complement to the 2N6056, ie a 2N6054? Does it test as a PNP Darlington? Were these transistors driving the XY motors?

Thanks for the help guys. Yes the circuit drove the X and Y axis motors and the pen up and down. Pier
