About the DS3800HMCA1B1A

The DS3800HMCA1B1A is a GE printed circuit board that works within the Speedtronic Mark IV Speedtronic system.   The MKIV Speedtronic is an industrial turbine control system that was originally released in 1984.  It moved into end-of-production stages roughly a decade later.  While MKIV components can no longer be sourced through the OEM, they are typically in stock and available for purchase here at AX Control. 

The DS3800HMCA1B1A functions as a dual communication control card.  It is designed to help external devices and internal modules communicate.   The board weighs approximately 1.40 pounds without the addition of external boxing.  AX Control prides itself on excellent shipping preparation, including the use of anti-static wrapping, protective padding, and internal and external boxing.  

The DS3800HMCA1B1A is a narrow and long board stiffened through the use of two board stiffeners.  These have been attached to the board using screw mounts.  The board is marked along these edges to allow for alignment.   The board is factory drilled, with two extractor clips inserted into the front-facing drill holes.   Extractor clips are used to pull the board from its location in a rack and can also be used as handles during installation. 

Board components mounted to the surface of the DS3800HMCA1B1A include diodes, capacitors, resistors, and integrated circuits.   Other components include a larger transistor mounted along the one edge.  This transistor is mounted within a heat sink.   The board also has several resistor network arrays and jumper switches.
