Jacks added to 6623A System PSU


 

I got a good deal on a 6623A triple system PSU last year, and finally added binding posts to it (it only sports rear screw terminals as-is):
/g/HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment/album?id=245498

Not the greatest model to use as a bench supply, but one makes do...

All that remains is to make links to join the output & sense posts. I've ordered some sheet brass & aluminum. Does anyone know a source for pre-made ones?

Well... I haven't seen (doesn't mean they don't exist)... but, I haven't seen the ones stamped out of sheet steel lately, and hardly the ones stamped out of brass ever.
But Pamona makes what they call "Stackable Shorting Double Banana Plug" with the banana plugs centered at 0.75 inch... that fit my HP 6111A, et. al. power supplies. Jameco, and others sell them. See.
Best regards.


 

I have a 6644A, which is a little different, that I added front panel binding posts to. I 3D printed a holder that sits inside to position the binding posts correctly.
I also added a switch to select between internal sense connection or the external sense binding posts.


As for shorting links, I usually use these ones:

Standard binding-post spacing is exactly 3/4 inch.

There's always the Pomona Electronics B-8 banana plug jumper. The black ones are handy for connecting + or - terminals on a power supply to earth ground, and they're long enough to reach between power supply boxes.

That's you? Neat. I'm using your camera mount in my D6, and have
been wanting to do the Tek 222 battery pack upgrade.
