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. Dennis -----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: [TekScopes] Re: New Curve Tracer Test Fixture - Not for Vacuum Tubes, for SOT23 instead 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?

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 ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links |
