content: I'm starting on the repair of a HP 8160A 50Mhz Programmable Pulse Generator and I found one of the BNC jacks on the front panel is damaged.The HP part number is 1250-0252, which cross references to Amphenol 31-12446-4NA , or 28JS108-1 from various other manufacturers.I have found that Keysight has them in stock but they won't allow a common peasant like me to make an account to buy one....Does anyone know where or how I can get one of these?

content: I've heard this before about Keysight but I had no problem in creating a personal account - The only thing I had to do was to call them to get the credit card added.I've ordered parts and calibration services without issue but I can't remember if I did the calibration stuff first - That might have been the secret to getting an account.Alternatively it might be because I'm using Keysight US rather than in another country.I'd recommend just giving them a direct email (usa_orders@keysight.com) or failing that a call - I think you can get worldwide info from here by changing the country:https://www.keysight.com/main/contactInformation.jspx?nid=-11143.0.00&lc=eng&cc=USTonyG

content: Can I please have a picture of the BNC itself, I may have one for you. I was looking at the drawing but... it looks like a BNC to me.There is so many flavors.. not sure if it's one of those I have.

content: now i dont know how the inside of 8160A looks like but if all fails maybe you can improvise with the nutted to coax cable version such as one hung low version...https://www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-RF-BNC-connector-female-bulkhead-nut-crimp-RG58-RG142-LMR195-RG400-cable/272252679661?hash=item3f638635ed:g:VdYAAOSwlfxXHHmWhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/4pcs-BNC-Female-Jack-to-BNC-Female-with-nut-bulkhead-Straight-Adapter-Connector/222999115613?hash=item33ebc8775d:g:hukAAOSwD0lUdS34ymmv..

content: I used my company as a front to order parts from Keysight in Canada, it was a pain due to languages issues. It may not be the issues in you country.Register yourself, and give them your credit card and try to order the parts and see .... it may work in the end

content: Alrighty, got some good news (for me)!I emailed Keysight Japan directly and they said Yep, can do.I should have tried that to start with, but now I know I can get my parts if I need them in the future. Nice.
