About the IC3600AFGC1C
The IC3600AFGC1C is a GE FANUC component for the Speedtronic Mark I/Mark II series. These gas and steam turbine management series were developed and released by General Electric in the 1960s and 1970s, and have since then accumulated millions of operating hours worldwide, in all types of heavy-duty turbine systems--from small one unit 4000 hp systems to entire power plants rated to 400 Mw (combined cycles.)
The IC3600AFGC1C works as a Function Generator board within these series. It has three large wire-wound resistors located together in a group. These are through-hole components and are mounted horizontally. Each resistor is marked with its resistance on its top surface. There are also several carbon composite resistors on the board; some of these are mounted vertically. The board uses several polyester vinyl capacitors (all mounted vertically,) but capacitors of some other materials are also utilized.
The IC3600AFGC1C is built with three trim potentiometers and several transistors of varying design. One transistor has been fitted with a heat sink. Heat sinks act as a passive heat exchanger that allows a component to remain at its optimal working temperature by dissipating heat into the air more quickly.
One edge of the IC3600AFGC1C is designed to hold twenty-five individual metal pins. When the IC3600AFGC1C is inserted into the larger Speedtronic frame, these pins are wired together and help the card communicate with the rest of the series.
Our warehouse ships components protected in a static-reducing, plastic protective covering. Technical support for Mark I/Mark II boards was provided by GE.
