Re: scanned: Common Parts Design Catalog #6, Wire, Insulation, and Power Supplies, May 1988
How does number eight compare to the semi conductors catalog? ====================================================== Along the lines of #7, an addendum. Includes updated transistor and diode info, case styles, surface mount critters, heat sinks, insulators, lamps etc. Rolynn |
Re: scanned: Common Parts Design Catalog #6, Wire, Insulation, and Power Supplies, May 1988
also in existence is Semiconductors dated Oct 1982 it does not have a catalogue no.

Well, I saved it from the trash.? What I don't have is scancapacity beyond 1-page at a time, or the OCR software.?

Hi Leon, Originally Tek produced 6. If you look at the back cover of the bound ones it shows abbreviated contents for each of the six.

So the dates on them are usually different. I do not know if newer dated ones eliminated parts from earlier ones that might be obsolete at the time it was created. If that is the case then it would be valuable to find as many older versions of these parts catalogs to give us all the information possible to use when tracking down part numbers.

I'll try the epoxy, while being careful not to put too much on there and block anything. Weekend project as I had to leave early from work and couldn't get the scrap HP 54504A DSO out of the building yet.? Monday for sure.

I just stepped through the #5 catalog that I saved on my computer, and it seems to have everything from chapters 11 to 12 to 13.

Though there is a blank page with nothing on it, between chapters, and no error messages anywhere. On 8/24/2018 2:53 PM, Jim Olson wrote:

When I open the downloaded version on the computer it works fine also. It was only the one that opened after I clicked the download arrow that did not reproduce all the pages correctly at the end of the 11 section going into the 12 section I was getting an error message that these pages would not open so it is just a glitch with to many copies I think.

Re: 475 switch lettering

The ganged push button caps of the 475, just as much as the 465 and others of the same vintage are all removable. They're tight fit and it takes quite a good grabbing from their sides to pull the off. A nose pliers with the tip covered by rubber will help to obtain a good grip while protecting the buttons from being scratched by the pliers. Also, if the scope is opened, you can use a lever and push the caps out, from behind the front panel (some buttons may be difficult to reach from behind).

I don't quite understand what you mean... Q1486 is grounded, but not its carcass. The emitter goes to ground (via wire and A6 main interface board PCB's ground). Maybe you're not looking to the correct schematic? The +V power supply enters the top end of T1501 transformer's primary winding (pin 5, heavily decoupled by C1487 and C1487). The lower end of the primary winding (pin 6) is connected to the collector of Q1486, whose emitter goes to ground, closing the circuit. The primary of T1501 is the collector load of Q1486, which works as a simple common emitter amplifier. What you call the second primary winding (pins 3 and 4) is, in fact, a low voltage, feedback secondary winding... It provides positive feedback to the base of Q1486 and it's actually what makes the circuit behaves like an oscillator. Operating principle is as follows: 1. Assume (for the sake of understanding) Q1484 is not conducting (its conduction is not essential for the oscillation... it just controls how much more intense or less intense circuit will oscillate). 2. Assume Q1486 starts not conducting... there's no current flowing through the primary (and no magnetic field). 3. R1483 (5k6) provides bias to Q1486 through T1501 feedback winding. At this point there's 0V accross this winding, because the primary has no current (yet). 4. As current flows from R1483, through T1501 pins 3 and 4, and enters the base of Q1486, Q1486 starts to conduct... A current starts to flow through T1501's primary. 5. As current flows through T1501 primary, magnetic field starts to build up, and a voltage is induced on the feedback winding of T1501. The feedback winding is wired such a way that this voltage increases the bias to Q1486 (the voltage sums up to what is already coming from R1483)... making Q1486 conducts harder and harder... 6. At some point, Q1486 reaches near saturation, and current through the primary winding stops increasing... (and magnetic field stabilizes). 7. As magnetic field stabilizes, the induction to the feedback winding stops (induction only happens while magnetic field is changing) and voltage from pin 3 to pin 4 starts to drop, decreasing the bias to Q1486. 8. As Q1486 receives less bias, it starts conducting less, decreasing current to T1501's primary. 9. As T1501's primary's current decrease, magnetic field is now decreasing, inducing negative voltage from pin 3 to pin 4 of the feedback winding... this time, subtracting from the bias being provided by R1483, and pushing Q1486 into cutoff... Which further decrease T1501's primary current (and further decreases magnetic field) until the point the Q1486 is completely cutoff, and there's no more current (and no magnetic field) on T1501's primary. 10. When there's no current and no magnetic field anymore on T1501's primary, we're back to step 2, and everything starts over again. Additionally C1483 plays a role here, interacting with the feedback winding's inductance, to prevent oscillations at overtone frequencies... (I.e. the fundamental frequency is not set by this capacitor, but by the transformer's self resonating frequency, and C1483 helps avoiding the oscillator from running into the harmonics). In all that, the summed currents from R1483 and additional current coming from Q1484, is what makes Q1486 starts conducting again at the end of each cycle and keeps the oscillation going. The current from R1483 establishes a baseline (so that the oscillation works minimally), and Q1484 provides the additional current necessary to make the oscillation amplitude to regulate according to a DC feedback loop that comes from the Cathode Voltage (-1470V), and is compared against the +65V (which is the +DC voltage reference for all the supply voltages of the 464) by means of the voltage divider comprised of R1525D (28.36MOhm) and R1525C (1.25MOhm). This voltage divider, when the Cathode voltage is at the correct value of about -1470V, provides about 0.5 ~ 0.7 V to the base of Q1472 which is just enough to bias it. If the oscillator starts working too hard, the cathode voltage goes more negative than -1470V, making the voltage at the base of Q1472 to go down, making it conducts less, which makes Q1476 to conduct and so Q1484, which will reduce the drive to the oscillator, which will run with less power and producing less negative voltage to the Cathode (if will go less negative). The Cathode Voltage DC regulation loop is comprised of: The high value voltage divider (R1525D and R1525C), Q1472, Q1476 and Q1484 (which all their associated biasing resistors). C1455 and R1455 makes up for a slow start of the H.V. power supply (it makes the reference +65V for the voltage divider to grow slowly). C1472 and R1472 sets the DC regulation loop time constant, making it not react to fast changes (e.g. ripple and/or noise) and react only to steady changes in Cathode Voltage. Their values are also set to avoid that the DC regulation loop itself oscillates (which would be apparent as the Cathode voltage to keep constantly going up and down around the -1470V threshold).

Re: 464
Fabio I have been following this thread out of curiosity and looking at the schematic in my 466 book for this circuit and it is weird. If Q1486 does not have a good ground to mains earth it seems to me it wont work correctly? Why the two primary windings? for that HV transformer and how is the AC created to make it function?
