Re: DIY: Repair of HP Step Attenuators


 

All,

I wonder: I have a sticky microwave relay in an HP 8593A. If the relay has been closed (ie for LOWBAND) for about five minutes and is opened, it won't close again unless it's had a chance to cool down (about 10 minutes at room temp). I can get it to close immediately with freeze-spray. Could this possibly be magnetization? Aside from a sticky relay pivot, how else can such relays fail?

maybe you have one cell stuck, due to magnetization of the small actuator... Can be locked to the ceiling of attenuator case.
