I am trying to locate a replacement vertical IC for an RCA model F32665
- chassis CTC203CH3. The IC is a TDA817. I have located a TDA8170, but
I'm not sure if this is the same component. I have been told that some
RCA components can only be purchased by RCA through an authorized
service center, which I am not. Hoping someone here has some info about
this for me. Thankyou group.

Search for TDA817 here http://www.alldatasheet.com/ and see if you can id
the part. They list 10 or so different types, might find it here.

The 4 numeral choice is the more likely.

Thankyou for the reply, but I would like to know a more definite answer
before purchasing the IC. Thanks again.

Can also go to partstore.com enter Brand and Model number and get a list of
parts available. Look thru the list for a vertical IC. Can also look at
similar models and look thru the parts list. Once you ID the part you can
shop around for the lowest price, usually at electronix.com

Look at the data sheet for the different TDA817x Look for one with the
right package style, then check the pinouts and see if they match up too,
Vcc etc.

This IC is a TDA8172 and RCA draw # is 215531

Correct IC. To others, I prefer that please don't reply if some don't
know what this chassis is and led the poster astray.
