Help identifying this component

[Mortimer]

I am trying to repair a combination electronic transformer/dimmer. It
converts mains in to 12V at about 80W to supply a floor lamp with
halogen lamps, it has an integral dimmer. The two suspect components
could be transistors, they are TO220 packages and have printed on them
the letters ST inside a sort or angled square with the numbers 9622.
Under this is the word Malaysia and under this is RELCO5. Anyone know
where I can find info on these or if you recognise them what
equivalent I could use. Thanks.

Hi Spehro,

One German source:
http://www.wer-weiss-was.de/theme59/article140098.html
claims it's a house-numbered BUL59.

The last poster on there mentioned an obsolescence list that seems to
suggest the BUL59 as the closest replacement.

Do you speak German? That is great, there aren't many folks out here who
do.

Regards, Joerg

Nope. Survival German only (at least the Germans *try* to understand
my fractured words, unlike the French who are quick to give up). My
wife is fairly fluent in both- she studied them through university and
has worked in Germany and Quebec fairly extensively. I just stuck it
in googlefish. ;-)

I remember a US soldier who spoke perfect German. Actually it was pure
Bavarian.

How long ago was this? He wasn't You Know Who in disguise, by any
chance? (;-)

The good news is that nothing is compulsory.
The bad news is that everything is prohibited.

Hello John,

Sorry but I don't know who. Arnold? He's Austrian. Big difference.
Anyway, it was at least 25 years ago.
