content: Just on an off chance...anyone know where I buy some Bifurcated or Turret PCB Terminals in Australia or fleabay. Even hook or pierced PCB terminals would be ok.I've reversed engineered some PCBs and wanted to keep them as original as I can for ease of R&R. Yes it might be easier to change to socket connectors.After everyone picks themselves up from the floor laughing...maybe someone would know!Many thanksBrendanedit: I may have been too quick...Osterrath appear to have solder pins on RS. But they are too thin.edit edit:Ahh found some under Harwin slotted terminal pin from xon.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10pcs-H2051-01-Harwin-Circuit-Board-Hardware-PCB-TERMINAL-PIN-SLOTTED-TUR-/262536216447

content: Keystone also make these style of terminals. NPA are agents for Keystone.Digikey have quite a range of turrets but of course that means shipping costs starting at $34, (orders up to $200 worth).

content: Many thanks Gents.It appears E14 has a good range it just wasn't showing up in my searches but putting in the Harwin number H2051-01 popped up and ample alternates like turrets etc. Although looks like E14 is no longer stocking some. After all...not many new designs use terminals like this.Strictly old Skool!RS is quite devoid of these.Mnay thanks
[Wanted] WideBand synth like ADF4351 on board, or maybe just 32p qfn breakout? - Page 1

content: I have like NO money at the moment times are rough. Luckily I may have just got a gig designing an SDR for or with an academic orientated sat company, well see.Basically Im doing a project to generate up to 4 square waves @ 200mhz or 2 200mhz square waves and 2 47mhz square/triangle/sin wavs. The problem is 200mhz is just not enough, I need at least one, preferably two coherent channels with a min frequency of 2.5ghz. I also am not looking to design some crazy analog solution to get perfect sines or squares. These higher speed channels are basically used a quick and dirty way to impeadence and return loss analysis of microstrip and antennas. Almost as important I need to be able to make SHF/Microwave Local Oscillators to drive mixers, and push fast frequency through power coupling/dividing sections. A directional coupler would be nice too!!!For example im trying to make a diversity controller in order to make it feasible to do L/S band mobile SDR in your car, or in remote locations (think standing on top of an abandoned ATT long lines relay tower, or camping... bah!). I have been tore down the same single patch antenna and rebuilt it up to 10x, it was made using a PastorNeck Calculator and measured with digital calipers, it only point is to use as cheap reproducible antenna to test the controller ... i dont know whats wrong maybe the location of the probe causing horrible mismatch... but Ive wasted way to much time on something that isn't even the main goal.So I know there is the ADF3451, and Max2870... these are both QFN and I dont have any QFN to dip type adapters, even if I did I dont know if I could do this without paste. The ideal solution is to get one of these wideband chips already on a PCB, or even better a dev board that lets me plug it in and control the damn thing without wasting any time writing code and once im ready to button up my multi channel signal source Ill just get the chips from AD and put them on a real PCB. At this point im not sure that putting chip on a little breakout that is soldered to a hand etched 50ohm line pcb is going to work well at up to 4 or 6ghz depending on the VCO/PLL/Synth chip used..If anyone hopefully in the US can help me out of this jam I got a lot of stuff around and will do my best to make the trade worth it in the end. Depending on what happens with company X, I might end up recapping my 6.5 digit 4 lead DMM, caling it and selling it a long with some of my home theater gear or something in order to get what I need togather. I just started having test gear and laptops break down out of no where it is ridiculous!!!!!

content: I came upon a man getting rid of his dad's stuff since he passed. His dad was a Heathkit and electronics instructor and had piles of the stuff. Got some excellent finds, and this is one of them: an unassembled IM-36 kit, new in box! (box was opened but not assembled) I went through the parts list and I can confirm all major parts. Whether a small screw or nut is missing, too many to count, but those are easy to replace. It's all there as best as I can tell; even the stickers and reorder envelope are still in the manual. I don't want to tear the packing apart, so an extra battery configuration sticker might be hidden somewhere in the kit that belongs to the other one... if it ends up being in here, I'd like to know.Be a kid again and unbox some history!Looking for $275, via Paypal, shipped.If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I also have a verified Paypal and a %100 positive feedback, 374-rating account on Ebay (Although I'd prefer not to sell on Ebay because of the extra fees) See it on Ebay, here:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Heathkit-IM-36-transistor-tester-UNASSEMBLED-VINTAGE-KIT-NEW-OLD-STOCK-RARE-WOW-/351918065361?hash=item51eff386d1:g:jSgAAOSwiDFYOjW2

I think this a good deal because on LeBonCoin similar oscilloscopes in worse condition goes for 2-3x the price.Based on the seller's PayPal email and the seller location (Chambéry) these come from the University of Geneva.I got mine today. The packaging was okay-ish. The seller used cut styrofoam boards for padding the oscilloscope, so there was styrofoam bits all around the place when I opened the package, on the oscilloscope and inside it… It took me 5 minutes to vacuum everything !The oscilloscope is in relatively good condition, it just needed a little bit of cleaning with a rubber on the knobs but nothing too serious. The battery is dead, but the seller gave me a brand-new one.

content: These are actually small capacitance boxes out of pacitor aircraft fuel tank contents test sets.Each contains 8 Oxley 30pF piston trimmers, part TU30p, mounted 4 at a time on a PCB with a 0-9 switch. There are two PCBs plus a rotary knob operated trimmer capacitor. Gives a maximum of 1000pF, there are bulk capacitors, the trimmers just, well, trim. There is a soft sort of mastic across the trimmers to stop them rotating, removable with a finger nail.I have 20 of them.Price £25 each, UK postage free, overseas what ever else the post cost is. Note, will be sent unrecorded, unsigned for and similar so fingers crossed until it comes. Not worth the time and hassle to track them. Weigh about 200g so not too ruinous.

Located just outside of Bristol, happy to post at buyers expense.HP5310A Modulation Domain Analyzer-works.HP4276A LCZ meter-needs work, is showing error codes.Radford L.D.O series 2 valve sine and square sig gen. 5Hz-500kHz-works.Marconi T.F2005R- Audio sig gen-Needs a power lead making up, I'm told it works but untested.These are all old and fairly tatty, can take pictures if interested.2x Tektronix 468. One works but with no digital storage, one doesn't work but digital storage board is apparently working. Was given the pair to fit the working storage board to the working scope. I did this but digital storage still didn't work so...who knows, probably easier to find the fault or just use it as an analog scope.Racal-Dana 9300 RMS voltmeter-works but out of calibration.2x Farnell TSV70 mk2 power supplies 30V/10A or 70V/5A, can be linked together-neither is working.

SOLD (EU): Agilent InfiniiMax 1132A 5GHz differential probe amp (repaired) - Page 1

timestamp: November 19, 2016, 04:52:27 pm
content: ManualThis one is a bit special. Originally bought on ebay as used, but it did not work on any of my scopes.Turned out that the EEPROM was gone bad with corruption. I changed the EEPROM and was able to recover most of the data but due to minor differences (the corruption) the probe kept reporting checksum errors. So I copied the data from another probe. As a result, the probe is fully operational again but reports itself as 1134A with a wrong serial number. I have personally checked the probe with a 4 GHz scope and as far as I can tell it works and measures correct rise times and voltages.I am going to write a post on how I recovered the data and how the data on the EEPROM of this model of probe is arranged. From what I could tell when disassembling the probe, the I2C EEPROM is hardwired to self-destruct, err be read-only. Also it seems that there is no calibration data in this series of probes, the data merely contains the text that is displayed by the scope i.e. serial number, capacitance, impedance.If anyone has a guess as to which checksum algorithm Agilent used in these probes I would be very interested in a discussion, as I have tried a slew of commonly known algorithms without success.Anyway, it is up for sale as I have sold all my scopes.Differential probe amp, no accessories.Compatible with the Autoprobe I interface (e.g. Infiniium 90000A, 9000A/H, 8000A, InfiniiVision 5000A/6000A/7000A and 3000/4000/6000 X-series)Specs from keysight:Dynamic Range: +/- 2.5VDC Offset Range: +/- 12V when probing single-endedMaximum Input Voltage: 30V peakDifferential Input R: 50 kOhmDifferential Input C: 0.27-0.34 pFSingle Ended Input R: 25 kOhmSingle Ended Input C: 0.44-0.67 pF200 EUR + shipping (20 EUR)Bank transfer or paypal (please cover the fees)

Tho you will need a Infiniium scope to use that as the DC offset feature are done with a DAC inside the scope providing a voltage back to the probe that then subtracts it away from the signal inside the probe amplifier.
