    Hi, can anyone point me in the direction of a data sheet for this device please? Failing that, even some basic data would be useful!

    TIA, Chris

    I don't see anything online either. Is this a repair problem, or do you
    have a box of those things and want to know what they're good for?

    If it's a repair, I suggest posting a link to the schematic and a
    description of what the box does, to sci.electronics.repair--there are a
    lot more folks over there who can maybe help.

    Good luck!

    Cheers

    Ok, thanks for the guidance. For the record, a BU941ZT was suggested as
    an alternative (its a motorcycle TCI box) - but I am not sure on what
    basis. Either way, the latter doesn't work whereas the former did - to
    some extent :-/

    Is what you posted ETD51 the correct p/n? I don't understand the suffix (-030). All combinations of the p/n string turn up empty (house number?)
    My cross ref catalogs the most recent is 2010, provides no crosses either.
    What does it do in the ckt?

    ETD51 I think is the generic type whereas ETD51-030 was from a specific
    vendor (I think!). It is used as a driver for the primary of the HT
    coil for the spark plug.

    I have a datasheet for the BU941ZT which declares it to be an NPN
    darlington - I just want to check the ETD51-030 has similar
    characteristics and, above all, has the same pinout.

    Hi Chris ,in the event that you haven't sorted-it , a Bosch BIP373 should work better than the original , though it does have a thermal cut-out past a certain temp. Also , STD901T will also work as many have been fitted to the first-series TCI-boxes
    for the 81 yamaha v-twins . They are also superior to the originals . Happy-Trails, Dave NZ

    Ta for that. I never sorted the TCI box and ended up buying a
    replacement 2nd hand one. It didn't fix the original problem which
    turned out to be...

    ...the breather 'wadding' in the bike cap fuel vent had become
    non-breathing!
    This was eventually, and tortuously, diagnosed by realising there was a
    marked difference in float level between 'running' and 'static'

    Cheers, though, I would like to get the original box functional again so
    I'll give those a look.
