About the DS3800DPLA

The DS3800DPLA is a small regulator board for the Mark IV Speedtronic Turbine series by General Electric (GE). This board has twenty short metal towers. These towers are known as Jumper ports. These Jumper ports are able to be covered up with small blue covers. These covers allow the worker to adjust how the current is used in connection with another board. The board also has six gold towers with flat head screws on the top. These towers are used to connect additional resistors, diodes, or capacitors as needed. This board currently has seven resistors. Three are a bit larger in size and are connected to the tower terminals. There are brown in color and have bands of different color to show the number of Ohms or energy that they can handle. The other four resistors are much smaller in size and are connected directly to the board. These resistors are a light blue color and have banding as well to show their Ohm capacity. The board also has three light emitting diodes or LED. These LEDs are red in color. The board also features a variable resistor or Potentiometer. This variable resistor is a small square box with a tiny screw in the front of it. This screw allows the worker to adjust the energy flow through the Potentiometer and the rest of the board. There is also a large polypropylene capacitor that is attached to the tower terminals as well. The DS3800DPLA is a small board known as a daughter board is meant to connect with a larger board. For a simple connection, there is a large ribbon harness with black connectors on either side. There are also four holes along the board to allow it to be screwed securely in place on the motherboard.
