Re: Replacement for 08565-60084 attenuator in HP 8565A...
Will, Yeah. I have thought about this option too. But that means I have to give up the ability to internally choose attenuation. Right now, I am facing the issue of choosing the cable that go between

Re: Favorite bad capacitor debugging techniques?
You are right. I have seen caps that lost allmost all capacitance with perfect ESR, i have seen caps that leaked over 15 mA at 350V, blew out a lot of dielectrium but still perfect ESR. I have seen

Re: Favorite bad capacitor debugging techniques?
If a capacitor is pulling a bus down, an ESR meter is really not the right tool. A short and a good cap both have a low ESR! -John ===============

Re: Favorite bad capacitor debugging techniques?
What model ESR meter you use ? I guess a HP bridgde. With 6.5 digits this is not one of the ESR "indicator" kits. How low can you measure. I use an analog meter, it goes upto 40 ohm ( but I made it

Re: Favorite bad capacitor debugging techniques?
Hi, If they are in fact vertical mounted AXIAL caps, then you could cut one lead, test the cap, then solder the lead back together. Chris

Amos - you can use an external atten. to keep the input signal below +20 dbm. Will

Re: Favorite bad capacitor debugging techniques?
Some years ago, I had a Brother FAX with a PS that died. I was damned if I was gonna pay well over $100 for a replacement PS. Of course, there were no prints to be had. I got pissed and sucked off

Replacement for 08565-60084 attenuator in HP 8565A spectrum analyzer
Hi all, With help from friends in this group, I have found the schematics in the manual, and I also identified the five missing parts in the HP 8565A that I cheaply bought from ebay. Now, I found it

Re: Problems with HP8753C networkanalyzer
Hi Peter, I went through a similar problem (not exactly the same, but the error was the same) and was able to fix it by an internal source auto-calibration. Please, check my WEB at

HP 85662A Display power supply issue solved
Hello group , finally the problem has been solved, the cause was an 30.000?F completely dry, this capacitor named C4 in A23 was in the power supply of the RF section and not in the display section.

Re: Favorite bad capacitor debugging techniques?
One thing I would never do is put in a bigger fuse. A switcher might not start up using a lightbulb. Besides things allready named like following the current and looking for low voltages i do the

Re: Favorite bad capacitor debugging techniques?
Dave, Based on your reference to having multiple vertical mounted caps I would assume you are talking about a SMPS. Personally I would not restrict yourself to the capacitors alone. Typically caps are

Re: Favorite bad capacitor debugging techniques?
With good desoldering gear (likle a Pace solder sucker) you can pull parts with little risk, if you are careful. Otherwise, apply a current limited source to the power rails and check the voltage

Re: Favorite bad capacitor debugging techniques?
As has been mentioned, the proper equipment makes a huge difference in parts replacement. If the board is that critical I would replace all the capacitors as a starting point, and check the diodes

Re: Favorite bad capacitor debugging techniques?
Are you sure all the caps are installed the correct way? My experience has been that the aluminum electrolytic fail open or low capacitance and tantalums fail shorted. You could put a 100 watt light
