S- series sampling head connectors


 

Does anyone know the pitch of the edge connector on the back of S-series sampling heads, like the S-1 and S-2? I've just ordered a couple of cheap ones to play with and would like to make a custom cable for them. I can't tell from the photos whether the connector is 0.1", 0.15" or 0.156" pitch. I'm hoping it's the latter because I've got lots of those.

There's a coax connector by the side which looks kind of like an SMB - is it?

Thank you
Chris


 

If you run out of S1s I will soon have about 20 dead S1 & S2s as part of my
s3110 restoration project.

I forget the picture of the connector but it is a standard Edge connector
the only thing Tek did was to use a hire gold thickness than a normal
connector. There is nothing special about the interconnect the cable tech
made was custom because it was cheap for them to do it but the only thing
custom is the embedded coax. I'm sure it's just a piece of rg174 woodwork.

I'm pretty sure that Tektronix also offered an extension cable that consisted of a plug-in unit with a cable with a connector at the end that plugged into any of the sampling heads.

I could that that, but my extension module is somewhere in a box either in my house on on a truck headed my way.

Yes they did 3 ft and 6ft. Plus for the s3000 family they made them in
lengths required to get from the 568 to the test drawer.

Go for 0.156. At that time, 0.1 or .156 would have been the only
ones. My digital calipers say 0.156.

Yes that coax connector is an SMB. The pitch on the connectors is .156" (matching socket in 7S11 or 7S12 was Viking 000-201-2901)

Thanks to all for the responses. I'm glad to hear it's 0.156". I've got lots of those connectors from playing with vintage arcade game PCBs which use them all over the place. As I understand it, the SMB connector is just for the trigger pickoff, isn't it? I'm not planning to use that (Real Samplers don't need trigger pickoff :-)
