How to pick repair parts similar to the original?
(1/2) > >>
Mint.:
So I am in the process of repairing an amplifier as you may have seen by my previous post. I think I have located the problem, but now I don't know where to find the TLP421 Photocoupler. What am I supposed to look out for when finding replacement parts?

it would help to know if its being used as an analog signal transfer or a digital one, and how its being driven, either current or voltage,

if analog you will want to find one with a similar current trasnfer rate and a similar IC vs IF charachteristic,
if digital you only need to find one with the same or better on/off times and forward voltage

Well I'm assuming that it works as an analog signal transfer since it just turns on when mains voltage is on from what I can see.
I've attached the schematic.

Too expensive! I only need one!
