I recently acquired a box full of miscellaneous electronics components (thanks, Steve!) and am in the process of identifying everything. I'm done with most of the semiconductors but there are a couple of items that I'm having problems with. The picture below shows one of them--it looks like a transistor, but it's not. I figured it's probably a voltage regulator, but I can't find a number that matches up with it. Anyone here have an idea? The lettering reads ZEN 315.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Are you sure it's not? When I was about 10 years old, I used to buy transistors that looked just like that. Got a transistor tester? An old Micronta or Archer unit?
I've enjoyed island life for 17 years. That's 13 years more than the Confederacy was around.

You're welcome :)
Okay, thanks. How did you find the info?

NTE cross reference is your friend :) If you can't find it there, there's other places but if it exists it's probably in NTE's database.Originally Posted by KJ6BSO
You forget I spent 20 years maintaining obsolete equipment.

Okay, good to know.
BTW, if anyone needs a transistor to repair the horizontal deflection circuit on a TV/CRT monitor, drop me a line. I've got a bunch of them.

Just downloaded the NTE cross reference app. Thanks for the heads-up--I've got a few other unidentifiable transistors.

See why I didn't want to sort and try to identify all of that stuff?
