About the DS3820ATAE
The DS3820ATAE is a circuit board produced by General Electric for the Mark IV Speedtronic series. This circuit board is relatively small and used in a larger series to control and run gas or steam turbines. A gas or steam turbine uses a large internal combustion engine to mix fuel and air to cause a contained explosion. This explosion creates a series of gases that are under a lot of pressure and force their way out of the engine causing the turbine to move at high speed generating a great deal of energy. The energy created by the moving turbine is then harnessed and used for a multitude of other purposes. The DS3820ATAE has three blue plastic male terminal ports. There is one large male terminal port with thirty-four metal ports. The other two male terminal ports are smaller and only have twenty metal pins. These male terminals are used to connect DS3820ATAE to surrounding circuit boards. The DS3820ATAE has two large black plastic terminals with multiple ports along each one. The black plastic boxes are labeled one through seventeen. The DS3820ATAE has twenty-four flat head screws throughout the circuit board. The DS3820ATAE also has two openings for additional screws to secure the circuit board in place. This circuit board has the part number (DS3820ATAE) and General Electric’s company insignia printed on it along with where the circuit board was manufactured (U. S. A.).
