Hello,

I am attempting to repair a Cebora Power Rod 1565 welder. This is a
switched mode type device.

One of the power MOSFETS is visabely blown. Where could
I start looking for a supplier of this device. I only
want a one off.

Type W20NB50 made by ST.

Thanks for any help.

The company Cebors has a site at WWW.CEBORA.IT

They supply a service manual to Authorized dealers only :-(

It's a common enough type with suitable substitutes also made by most major
power semi vendors.

Maybe if you said which country you live in I could help advise a source.

Digi-Key says:
MOSFET N-CH 500V 20A TO-247 made by STMicroelectronics

but they don't stock it.

The NTE cross-reference at
http://nte01.nteinc.com/nte/NTExRefSemiProd.nsf/$$Search?OpenForm

says you can replace it with an NTE2970, but that doesn't seem to be
stocked either.

Anyone?

Make sure you check the rest of them as well, if one is blown, chances
are more are bad.

These are pretty much generic parts. Not sure what the B means but most 20N50s
should do the job I'd reckon.

Farnell don't have 20n50s but do have 20n60s.

Don't mix up the IGBTs and mosfets. Also check what IR and STM have.

Try RS Components, part number 248-4242, ST part number STW20NB50.
http://www.rs-export.com

Datasheet:
http://docs-europe.electrocomponents...6b8002f66d.pdf

Otherwise Farnell appear to have the STW20NK50Z.

Hello,

Thanks very much for all the replys. I will order some FETS and see
how I get on.

There is a service manual for the welder available at WWW.CEBORA.IT
but you need a password to access it.
Have tried asking for a password to no avail:-(.

Cheers,
