WD-40, or TV tuner cleaner.
I would not use dielectric grease on anything which is intended to conduct.

Re: LCR Meter Recommendations Sought
This would be for measuring leakage at a specific voltage. If the LCR meter
included a simple DC voltage or current range, then an add on could allow
measuring leakage at a specific voltage.

Re: LCR Meter Recommendations Sought
Hi David,
I don't quit understand. Like measuring leakage with a uA, nA meter at a
certain voltage? Current? (huh? inductor core saturation? inductance
.vs. current?)
I got it in part to

Re: LCR Meter Recommendations Sought
I have had the Blue ESR meter from Anatek:
http://www.anatekcorp.com/blueesr.htm for a number of years. It is easy
to use and has only one button for on/off and zeroing the meter lead
resistance.

Re: LCR Meter Recommendations Sought
I used a Tektronix 130 (ebay #121432674092) for many years and it worked well enough for me at the time. I since graduated to an HP4271A (eBay #261586194927) which is far better.

Re: LCR Meter Recommendations Sought
I got a DER DE-5000 LCR Meter with TL-21 TL-22 TL-23 off ebay for only
$82. They are well discussed on the EEVblog.

LCR Meter Recommendations Sought
In many of the discussions by this Group, it is highly recommended to
test capacitors (and sometimes inductors) using LCR meters. I can
measure resistors with my DMM, but have no way (yet) to

Re: OT- What's a good substance for corrosion prevention on automoti
If it's good for marine applications then it will last well in automotive use.
All connections should be "gas tight" and try to keep them dry. If they will get wet, use dielectric grease. Don't

Re: OT- What's a good substance for corrosion prevention on automotive spade terminals?
Hi Dave,
As noted - grease will address the issue.
Also consider the environment - is it getting wet...the temperature... Suggest adding a heat-shink sleeve over the connection assembly, if you

Re: OT- What's a good substance for corrosion prevention on automoti
It might depend upon whether the corrosion is from exposure - corroding from the outside, if you will - or because of some electro-chemical effect (eg, due to dissimilar metals being in contact).

Re: Adding options to TDS scopes
Hi Victor,
Adding the HD option requires a hardware controller board. I can send you a binary that will enable 2M if you have the correct chips on the ACQ board. Make sure that the chips are 128K

That's a wonderful deal, and I really appreciate the offer. I'm actually in Europe (variously in Poland and the UK) so I can't take you up on it, but I've had another offer geographically

Great. What i really want to add is the HDD and 2M. Is there any information on how to unlock features on the web, or is this something that Tektronix still charges for?

Re: OT- What's a good substance for corrosion prevention on automotive spade terminals?
Dielectric grease which is usually silicon based will work. Many contact
lubricants that you would use on a switch like polyphenyl ether would work as
well.
There are lots of inexpensive "tune-up"
