Re: New Curve Tracer Test Fixture - Not for Vacuum Tubes, for SOT23 instead


 

Sorry I took so many days to answer but I was away.

I'm delighted others have found a use for the SOT23 curve tracer test
fixture. I especially like the creativity others are employing to build
theirs. I was fortunate in having the blank fixture in my Tek parts drawer
since I like to make things as professionally as possible. So I spent my
entire life learning many skills so I could make anything I ever wanted and
do it so well it would be impossible to tell it wasn't made by Tek.

But I forget that others are not as lucky or as well equipped as I am to do
things like this. I had no idea anyone else would have a need for the SOT23
test fixture (that was short sighted) so I didn't bother to mention the
problems I had to overcome along the way. Yes, there are no mounting holes
for the socket which makes it very difficult to work with. After carefully
measuring where to drill 2 holes for the leads to come through I epoxied the
socket down to the top of the fixture. It worked so far.

Hi Gordon,
Everywhere I have ever lived and worked, Rev B came AFTER Rev A. Why would
they name things in reverse alphabetical order?

I don't recall seeing a choice at the time I ordered it.

Do you see any differences in the drawings?

For those of you that want to make one yourself the test and burn-in
socket came from WaveShare in China (sales@...). Their part number is
499-P44-10 (REV.B). The price is $27 plus $14 to mail it via USPS. I
have no affiliation with the manufacturer etc. Better pictures of the
socket than I can take can be seen at


Hi Dennis. What made you choose REV-B? REV-A is the most recent (2/10/06)
according to the drawings. REV-B has 4/11/01 as the drawn date.

Cheers

Gordon
