Re: 3D Printing / Milling Tektronix parts
No, FDM corresponds to the 3D printing he mentioned -- Fused deposition modeling == FDM == makerbot, etc.

Re: 3D Printing / Milling Tektronix parts
Tam, I take it you mean EDM, Electric Discharge Machining.? A way to fabricate items not easily made using conventional milling and drilling.? I only know a very little bit about EDM because I

3D Printing / Milling Tektronix parts
Esteemed Quorum, please forgive me for "soliciting my wares" - but I recently met an expert on FDM and CNC machining. He found an interesting space to spend spare time in my barely used heavy machine

Re: Desoldering Iron vacuum
Thank you, gentlemen; From this discussion, I now have a much greater appreciation for my venerable Pace unsoldering system. You have provided some additional thoughts for maintenance procedures. The

Re: 485 Knob
Just curious, has anyone ever tried 3D printing replacement knobs? My Tek equipment is all intact but I could use a few HP knobs as well as a couple of Genrad. That might be a nice little sideline for

Re: Snubber capacitors
MOV's are a rather blunt instrument. They have two voltages that are important, the first is their sustained voltage, and the second is their transient voltage. The sustained voltage must be higher

Re: Snubber capacitors
If you check my original post, you will see I used NTC. my later use of PTC was a typo on my part. Capacitors behave as short circuits to transient pulses. Because the snubber capacitor is there, the

Re: Snubber capacitors
Craig Thanks for that info. Yes, I have seen other RIFA snubber combo units (cracked) which I junked, and replaced with separate R+C - but that was without doing any brainwork. Now I want to

Re: Snubber capacitors
For what it is worth, Quad (the audio company) used to use a RIFA 100nf/100ohm X2 snubber across the switch output. In other words not across the switch. That was present in the 33 preamp and FM4

Re: Snubber capacitors
Snubbers are usually applied to dissipate the energy in reactive transitions. If you use a capacitor only, it will tend to form a resonant circuit that can ring. It's good to have some resistance

Re: Snubber capacitors
Kevin Thanks! My goal is to reduce/eliminate arcing in a mechanical switch (or across relay contacts) - that's all. 1. You've stated between 1-10nF is suitable - is there a definite method to

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
