Re: Snubber capacitors
I don't know why one would look to a snubber to protect a switch. Snubbers, RC, RLC, are typically employed to control dv/dt on semiconductors. I don't consider a capacitor alone as a snubber. It is

Re: OT: Seeking help reviving a Stanford Research Systems SR760 Spectrum analyzer
Several people have mentioned their interest in schematics, others have offered to try and make image files or PDF's. Being the original poster, I'll collect scans/images and if the package is more or

You could take the schematics to almost any Office Depot and copy them full size to a ThumbDrive. Then post them in the files area. 73, Dick, W1KSZ wrote:

The L we are interested in is the inductance that the power supply presents to the power line. In the case of the 2465, that is very low, in the tens to hundreds of micro Henries. Insignificant, in so

Re: Snubber capacitors
These scopes were made to operate over a wide temperature range. A thermistor's cold resistance can become very high at the low end of the temperature range, perhaps high enough to make it unlikely to

Re: Snubber capacitors
Hi Chuck, Where does a shunt resistor go relative to the thermistor? I thought the thermistor was the only component in an inrush current limiter. Is that incorrect? Thanks, Barry - N4BUQ <snip>
