Re: in-circuit capacitor testing (ESR tester) -- ideas appreciated.
I use an Extech LCR200 for in-circuit testing. It computes the overall impedance at your specified frequency. Just make sure you COMPLETELY discharge the capacitors using a 25K high wattage power

Everything you ever wanted to know about ESR and various designs: http://kripton2035.free.fr/esr-repository.html I built one of those designs and it was very helpful. There's also an ESR adapter for

in-circuit capacitor testing (ESR tester) -- ideas appreciated.
Hello again, My main thread is " 2712 SA with display (and normalization) issues". Due to the large number of electrolytic caps this SA has, I wonder if anyone can recommend a (not too costly)

Re: Replace/Repair TM 500 Module Side Panel Latch
Both my PS 503A modules have clip-in side panels. And as to the side panels being perforated or not, my assumption for which ones are perforated and which are not is it is heat-related, but this is

I have a small collection of TM500 plug-ins, of which these have these latches: PG506 1 latch missing TG501 SG503 Both latches missing FG503 PS503A I agree with Dan on the part-numbers, which are also

Re: Recreating an old board for the 7854
You can use Python scripts to generate the Kicad footprints for the PCB edge connectors. I've done it for my TM500/5000 and 7000 series extender projects. https://github.com/anotherlin/tek_tm_ext

Re: Replace/Repair TM 500 Module Side Panel Latch
The trick to gluing the two halves together, if that is necessary, is avoiding the adhesive binding against the side panel itself. This leaves little surface area to bond between the two halves.

Re: Replace/Repair TM 500 Module Side Panel Latch
Jeff, PG506 has them on at least some examples. These are used only on plug-ins that include the rear support frame. I will need to look as I think I have a couple of others which have the same side

Which one is Q510? I see 2 Q500s but no Q510. Of course it could just be me. Vince.

Re: Replace/Repair TM 500 Module Side Panel Latch
Hmmm... Silly me, at a glance I always thought these were just good old fashioned Dzus fasteners, but that shows how little I know about Tek's passion to custom build everything. :-) Keith

The latch part numbers should be 105-0932-00 and 214-3364-00. They are described in great detail in the Mechanical Common Design Parts Catalog from November 1988. dan
