Hi folks, I'm looking to identify what I think is a transistor, in a TO-72 package (TO-18 with four leads), in an old Victoreen radiation survey meter. The number is "ITS 30487". It's also marked "7736" which I assume is a date code.
Probably an internal part number. BITD transistors were commonly marked with customer part numbers. (Around 1982, I was working in a group of RF engineers, and a lot of the parts available for us to use had cryptic part numbers like that.
I assume that one of the leads is connected to the case (the usual situation).
If it's the front end of a proportional counter, it might be a FET such as a 2N4117A JFET or a 3N163 MOSFET. For a Geiger counter, it would probably be something a bit more robust such as a 2N2222.
If none of the leads is connected to the case, it could be something less common, such as a dual-gate FET. I used to use a lot of 3N201s in that package.
I used to replace a lot of 40763 dual gate Field Effect transistors in garage door openers. I was doing the for a friend with a garage door business as a sideline. A nice part, but they didn't like nearby lightning strikes.
