Looking for a TIP145 equivalent

Thanks,
Wasn't aware of them but might just try that approach!

can't find one around Brisbane (so it seems) and am wondering what people

I'm a mug at electronics and of course my need is immediate otherwise I
could get one from Futurlec. DSE online appear to have them but who knows
how long I'd have to wait now the face is gone.

Out of interest, this component from the circuit board buried in a load
of foam in an old Repco 12V fuel pump. They cost about $140 these days!

The pump ceased to work suddenly but mechanically it is fine and the
coil(s) seem fine. I decided it was simple to replace all components once
I opened and cleaned it up. I am a bit puzzled how the thing works at
all. It has five resistors and three diodes plus the transistor and the
two coils around the iron slug that does the pumping.

Thanks folks,
Dave



You could just go find a replacement pump at the progress road pick a part
at wacol for $10.00

Thanks Phil.

I'd never used Farnell. The mail wait could be a killer.

** Farnell do not use mail.

You would get nest day courier delivery in Brisbane.

TIP147 is commonly available

** Huh ?

Not from DS, Jaycar or Altronics stores as the OP requires.

DS on-line have no stock.

So it is back to Farnell, RS and WES for one off quantities.

TIP147 is commonly available and would do as a replacement in this
application.
