Insignia TV model IS-TV040925 Question about HOT

Sep 17, 2008 1 Replies

This set has a Toshiba 2SD 2638 as a Horizontal output. My distributor has Philips 2SD 2638's in stock at 3.95. I have not been able to find the Toshibas's elsewhere. Does anyone know if its OK to sub the original Toshiba part with a Philips? This is a 1700V transistor so I don't want to assume anything. Thanks, Lenny.

"2SD" is a Japanese prefix. I wasn't aware that Philips used anything other than European prefixes. I suspect that the stock listing is either an error, or the part is a fake. Or perhaps Philips is now second sourcing Japanese parts ???
