Re: HP 11683A Range Calibrator - Anyone ever swapped resistors for a repair?


 

Hi Tony,

There are some companies that can make custom laser trimmed resistors but I cannot find it my notes now. I heard that Vishay can also take an order for custom resistors but I guess you need to order a big batch.

Best regards,
Razvan

Hey All,
I dropped my 11683A Range Calibrator on the bench to test some 435A meters, and I've discovered that it is out of specification.
Here is what I measured on the device:
The lower level resistances are good, and my overall reference voltage is close to 15.8V (and can be adjusted to the 145mV as the manual specifies for the 1mW range). However, as you can see it fails the greater 1mW ranges, which I think indicates that there is a problem in the upper resistor array and this, again as far as I can tell, makes the voltage measurement stuff a bit dodgy.
Does anyone have any recommendations on replacement resistors? The manual says a 0.1% with TC=0 +/- 10, the OEM was Micro-Ohm Corp of CA.
Thanks,
