About the DS3800HFXD1F1E
DS3800HFXD1F1E Signal Conditioning Board GE Mark IV
The DS3800HFXD1F1E is a Signal Conditioning Board manufactured by General Electric for use within the Mark IV Speedtronic system.
The DS3800HFXD1F1E is a rectangular board that is heavily populated with components. The left edge of the board is taken up by a backplane connector marked 218A4553-1 AMP 533002-1. The right side of the board also has a right-angled connector component, marked M8350324-19. The board has one additional connector located in the center of the board; this is a vertical pin male connector.
The DS3800HFXD1F1E is marked on its top edge for alignment purposes. Corners are drilled, with extractor clips added to the two right corners. These clips are used to simplify both extraction and insertion processes, as the clips can be used to push/pull the board from its place within a rack and can also be used as a handle during insertion.
The DS3800HFXD1F1E has four nylon standoffs mounted to its surface on the right board side. These allow for the addition of an auxiliary board. There are eight jumper switches, three LED indicators (one amber, two red,) one toggle switch, four TP test points, and four resistor network arrays. The board uses metal film resistor network arrays, ceramic and electrolytic capacitors, and diode components. It is populated by over fifty integrated circuits, including 8-bit Tri-State Bidirectional Transceivers, Octal Buffers/Line Drivers/Line Receivers, and Hex/Quad D Flip-Flops.
