Hardware TIps and Specifications
This DS2020BRCAG3 printed circuit board from General Electric is a Brake Control product with not a whole lot of original Mark V Series instructional manual materials that describe it in great detail available on the internet. This is likely a function of this DS2020BRCAG3 15 Amps Brake Control's status as an obsolete Mark V Series product. While this is unfortunately true, it is still possible to curate a product-specific hardware page for this DS2020BRCAG3 PCB thanks to the functionality of the DS2020BRCAG3 product number itself.
The DS2020BRCAG3 functional product number begins with the DS2020 series tag, which has dual naming conventions for this Mark V Series printed circuit board. The DS2020 series tag designates this DS2020BRCAG3 Brake Control Card as a domestically-manufactured General Electric product with a DS2020-signfied special assembly type. This DS2020 series tag is followed in the DS2020BRCAG3 functional product number by the BRCA functional acronym, which was created to exist as a convenient shorthand promotional or conversational alternative to the lengthy DS2020BRCAG3 functional product number. This BRCA functional acronym itself is followed in the DS2020BRCAG3 functional product number, by an instance of the G3 Mark V Series grouping tag.
