AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around identifying an unknown integrated circuit (IC) device marked with "A04E 1032 889N." The user suspects it may be a Hall Effect sensor but lacks a datasheet for proper usage. They describe the IC as having three radial leads and a size smaller than a TO-92 package. Suggestions include consulting the school's electrical engineering club or teaching assistants for potential manufacturer information or functional insights. The challenge lies in the limited information typically available on smaller packages.

I've got an IC device that I can't identify in my school kit. I've lost the parts list, so I can'tlook it up on there. Googling and searching on Mouser and Digikey is a dead end. I think it's a Hall Effect sensor, but without a datasheet I've no clue how to use it.

It has three radial leads like a TO-92 package, but it's only about half as big as that. On the curved side it has a stylized "A" with the letters 04E under it. On the flat side, it has the numbers 1032 889N.

Any idea what this is, where I can find a data sheet, or at least a clue on who makes it?

I'd ask the folks who put the kit together (probably the EE club if your school is like mine) or the TAs. They should be able to give you the manufacturer or at least a function if not part number. Unfortunately, the smaller the package, the less information you can cram on it.

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
