Re: Schottky Diode degradation / Replacement in instrument Sram Battery backup circuits ?
yes... agreed... it's 'hard to see' ... it's an obvious typo... and obviously wrong. since... reverse leakage current (as it is well known... and shown... in data sheets) increases exponentially with

Re: Keysight customer support policy
Back when they were still Agilent, I bought a loaded E4404b Spectrum analyzer Around $50 US. No problem. A few years later I needed to replace the Dallas battery/memory chip. I ordered one from their

If you are *not* a large corporate client you can pretty much give up on it.? A fairly long discussion was here:

Re: Keysight customer support policy
Thanks! No, I don't have a web page yet, only an empty domain. I'm afraid I may get work if I set it up ;-) The sensor: Yes, that was my first thought. DIY. Try to find a donor or see if it can be

Re: 8497K attenuator overhaul
yes .. my bad - I looked at the wrong picture!

No o-rings in the manual attenuator. Vladan

Re: 8497K attenuator overhaul
That looks a little odd .. with the 'SMA' male threads on the outside. I figured there must be thread locker if it is an adapter.

Re: 8497K attenuator overhaul
I was right about the camshaft on the manual attenuator (and it does have o-rings) ... http://www.ve2azx.net/technical/HP_StepAttenuatorRepair.pdf BTW I should have said SMA male to N female adapter.

Re: 8497K attenuator overhaul
The attached picture is not of a 8497K, but I think you can see what the connector looks like on the inside end. You will have to remove the N-connector in order to get to the socket head screws under

Re: 8497K attenuator overhaul
I am assuming that the design is the same as the SMA type that I overhauled from the spectrum analyzer. (I think reasonable). I'm not sure the same would apply with the mechanical version but they may

Hi Tom ¨C I admire your restraint and diplomatic prowess. I do not think I would be able to come close to your exemplar demeanor. Knowing not only this group, but many others, there are always

Re: 8497K attenuator overhaul
These things have o-rings to replace? I didn't know! I just ordered a fistful of silicone o-rings from 'The O-Ring Store' for the attenuators in my 8648C sig gens, plus a bunch extras for future use.

Re: Keysight customer support policy
Hello Bo, I think you are confronting two non-technical problems, in addition to the technical one regarding the connector. My guess is that Keysight is trying to deal with regulations regarding EU

Re: Schottky Diode degradation / Replacement in instrument Sram Battery backup circuits ?
I suppose almost anything is possible, but it's hard to see how a few microamps of forward current could cause an increase in reverse leakage current. Knowing this group, however, someone will chime

Re: Schottky Diode degradation / Replacement in instrument Sram Battery backup circuits ?
I agree. I'm not an 'expert' but 'experts' maybe don't know what really goes on at a fab (or what prayers the engineers say, during the fabrication process.) Maybe materials are 'better' and 'clean

Re: HP 141T Power Supply Help Needed
Hi guys, Good points here. What happens when you place a cap with zero ESR at the output of a linear power supply is that you intrude on the phase margin and the loop becomes unstable. This can easily

Re: HP 141T Power Supply Help Needed
To amplify your comment, many times older linear supplies, when they are brute force recapped, with the best, long life, low esr caps you can find, will become beacons of chaotic oscillation. I put a
