Had one, not sure why, since it was a LONG time ago, explode. Seriously, two little wires and aluminum confetti all over the lab. Decided at that point to avoid selenium rectifier voltage supplies

Hi Ron, Glad that you remembered and took the effort to describe the details. This time, I'll store them where I can find them... Raymond

Its likely that you did nothing wrong and the fix is easy.? First, the markings for C1115 and C1132 are mixed up in all Tektronix documentation.? You almost certainly put C1115 (a 35 to 60 volts

Hi Everybody, Chance had it that most of the time I spent on my 7L5 went into fixing, calibrating, adapting... rather than actual use. But this is about to change as I'm (hopefully) done with all the

Yes, the good venturi models have much better suction (high volume) and it's instant. I've got a Metcal MX-DS1, it's awesome. Totally agree on the rest of your points also. Clogged nozzles will make

I couldn't get tips for soldering irons while stationed at a remote army base, so I asked the base engineers for some scrap brass welding rod pieces the right size. I borrowed a die, to thread the

It would be relatively foolish to remove all of the capacitors before putting them back. I recap 2465 supplies a lot for my customers, and I still remove/replace them in blocks of all the same type.

When recapping the 2465 family power supplies, you will find that all of the electrolytic capacitors are oriented so that their polarity markers point in the same direction. The only possible

If the 2445 has the same ps as the 2465 than C1115 and C1113 are mixed-up in the component layout..... There are threads about this somewhere. Un saludo, Leo

Wasn't this Power Supply known for wrong PCB markings for at least one Cap? Raymond

I'd be inclined to go with what Barry said - it's fairly easy to inadvertently put a two-leaded cap in backwards, which would cause immediate failure on power-up. I'm sure it's happened to all of us

Hi Marc, Sorry to hear about the exploding cap. Any chance it was installed backwards (polarity-wise)? Thanks, Barry - N4BUQ

Hi group, hope you don't mind a newbie question. I took the plunge and decided to recap my 2445A power supply. Ordered Rubycons but the first thing I noticed that the caps are all very much smaller

Hi Chris, Being a CIA or NSA technical intelligence during cold war, would have been a great job for you :) Please keep us updated, especially with photos and documentations. I'm really curious about

It's easy. You take the cartridge heater technology that JBC and Hakko have and put that around a desoldering tip. http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/download/file.php?id=11012&mode=view (just make

Ok thanks, normal joints are ok at about 300 Deg c but I’ve tried up to 360 for something with a plane but it’s difficult always seems cold Thanks Kevin

How would you modify the existing tools? Harvey One reason why I favor the metcal shaped tips for desoldering where possible. H.

I'd put it above the melting point of the solder, but not too much more. The joint needs to be hot enough to melt the solder, but that's more a matter of heat capacity than temperature. You'd have to

Even if you can adjust the temperature, it's not much use. The danger of lifting pads increases exponentially with temperature and a hot setting can not really make up for a decent thermal path and

I can adjust temp on mine, what should it be at? Thanks Kevin Thanks Kevin
