Power Switch Button for HP 1631D

 

开云体育

I am missing the button on the end of the power switch on my HP 1631D. It can still be turned on by pushing the switch with a screw driver but doesn't look the best.

Does anyone know if these switch buttons can be sourced or is it a 3D print job? I don't have the CLIPs for the unit so I can't identify the switch number but it looks like the shaft on a standard push button switch except the shaft is at 45 degrees (looks like a diamond from the front) and the standard push button is generally not contoured.

Thanks

Dave

Opps you are right about the swap of letters, I guess that make it more difficult.

Thanks for looking it up.

The transistor is listed is a 1854-1094 or manufacturer part number PTX2222A. Google this results in a lot of Japanese and NPN thrown in the mix. The Equivalents List says it is a MTX2222A which is also a mystery.

I am assuming it is a SMD style 2N2222A but the under body solder pad with the 4 legs has me a bit concerned it might be something special. Anyone know this device? ? ?

Thanks for that good detective work.

Looks like a 2222 will get it going in the short term while I fault find the long list of alarms.

Thanks again.

Took a little amount of sleuthing, but I f you search for pxt2222a115 it appears to be an ordinary 2222 variant. The tab, opposing middle pin and “heatsink” are all one pin; the collector.?

Re: HP 8720D - Debugging story

Derek Kozel
 

I've done some basic testing and found a few fun things.

1) The blue data to the LCD is not connected
2) The Source Out -> In jumper on the back is cracked and the loss is too high below 500 MHz for the PLL to reliably work. Swapping jumpers makes the PLL lock reliably so I need a replacement but the system seems ok
3) The CPU heatsink was installed without ever removing the plastic sheet on top of the thermal paste!

The CPU fan for my 8720D is a Sunon AVD0504B2-8. It is mechanically different from the one you say is on the 8720ES. Looking at it there's a lot of lateral play on the fan axis so it's unsurprising that it's loud when the VNA is on it's side. Disappointing for what seems to be a quality fan, but good enough for it's usual use. I'd like to source a spare, but it's a lower priority now.

I borrowed a calibration kit and was able to make full two port measurements that match expectations between 500 MHz and 2 GHz. The calibration seemed good up to 20 GHz, but I need a better DUT to check that. I'm making a Beatty Standard this week to test with.

A replacement BR-2/3A battery arrived and will get installed tonight.

If you can’t find anything check out data for the ‘similar ranges’ plugin for the 8690. It was the 8699B.

Does anyone have any info on the HP86320A heterodyne module? This was the back assembly of certain 862XX sweeper plug-ins from the 1970s. It provided two bands covering 100 MHz to 2 GHz, and 2-4 GHz, using a 2-4 GHz YTO for drive. I have a couple that I want to use for a project. I sort of had the basic hookups, supplies, etc figured out sufficiently many years ago, but of course now can't find my notes, and it still seems to be pretty obscure, info-wise. Not much out there on line. I mostly need to know the operating voltages for the power amplifier, the LO, and the proper PIN switch drive topology.

There was also a subscription service that could be ordered under part number 5951-6517 or H5299A.
Has anyone ever seen one of these microfiche packages? I keep looking on eBay but no success so far.

Hi all,

I could fix the Generator!
The problem were missing wipers.
I could gain such wipers from a board connector. See attachment.
