Some sort of supressor/spark gap?
« on: April 02, 2019, 11:24:05 am »
Hi!

Does anyone recognise this?

It's a surface-mount component consisting of two metal electrodes soldered to the PCB power input lands, normally an open-circuit, with about three thin layers of brown insulating material between the electrodes, and has a logo consisting of an capital 'X' where the halves overlap slightly then "A03F" and "BSGZ" underneath on the second line?

Sorry for the poor quality of the photos!

It's an enigma that's what it is!! This thing's not fixed because it doesn't want to be fixed!!

Hi!

Member PBarton - thank you very much for your time - that's why myself and my friend couldn't seem to find it - we both thought it was some sort of spark-gap or suppressor across the lines rather than a fuse in series with them!

Kind regards,

Chris Williams

Hi

Just a quickie update to say my friend has successfully repaired the unit that the Littlefuse 60V polyswitch shown in my photo came from – the new replacement suggested by Member PBarton was an exact match, and the fault was traced to another 27–36V T.V.S. suppressor diode across the power input s/c, and the unit, some sort of industrial network router, now been shipped out serviced & tested!

Member PBarton, thank you once again for your help Sir!
