    Can anyone help identify this diode housing?!

    Just an opinion here. In the 'old days', it was common to mount large diodes vertically to save space on a PCB where space was at a premium. It served a couple of functions. To save space on the board, to keep the diode up off the board for heat dissipation, and provide a rigid support for...

    Samsung TV wrong settings in service manu

    I don't know. What are the odds one of those universal-type remote controls might do it? The ones I bought come with a long list manual of all the different television set models. You find your model, and input the correct code to activate the remote for your model TV.

    Samsung TV wrong settings in service manu

    I think you're just stuck in some service code mode. If you can't call Samsung and actually talk to somebody, or send them an email to tell them what happened and ask what to do about it, only trial and error is going to get you anywhere. I'd try again Googleing your model number with the...

    Samsung TV wrong settings in service manu

    Westen illogic meets Far Eastern logic. I've worked (much to my annoyance), on some Samsung LE series TV's. Your original problem may have been a bad chip, but it could also have been a bad tint adjustment. I'd go with *steve*'s advice and Google the factory defaults for your model to get you...

    Help with a project

    Alright then. Google 'pressure tranducer' and see what you get there. You're wanting a tactile sensor. I'd check the manufacturer tutorials on what's available, Omega, Automation Direct, Honeywell, or others. Check Digi-Key, they sell a line of switches that you might think fit your...

    Technics RS-TR313

    Like Harald said, you'll have to take the chassis cover off of the unit to look at everything inside (make sure you unplug it when you do that). You may be surprised to find something inside the unit that is clogging things-up. I've found units with dust, dirt, pet hair, build-up of tape residue...

    There are a lot of tranducers out there for pressure measurement. Google 'load cells' and see where it takes you.

    Bad Capacitor?

    Are those relays mechanical, or reed relays? I would think they'd be mre suceptible to impact damage. Your 1 ufd 100v cap isn't all that expensive to replace if it concerns you, and would eliminate that possibility.

    Technics RS-TR313

    Harald's advice is pretty complete. You may have a worn-out part, but the odds are, your mechanism needs a good cleaning. I use Q-tips and isopropyl alcohol. Be especially sure to clean the tape heads, as build-up on those can physically grab at the tape running across the heads, and cause your...

    Weller WX1

    Good luck, I've never seen a Weller schematic. I think they don't release them so you have to use one of their factory service reps. Is there a specific question about a specific symptom you're seeing that we can help you with?

    Db25 Panel Mount

    I'm thinking you're reading about the mounting clips with thumb-screw fasteners in them. Are you reading about the thickness of those mounting clips maybe? They have a fixed thickness for panel mounting. They're not necessary for mounting DB connectors, but often accompany them when you buy...

    Termination block for module

    Yeah, like Harald noted, it's not a standard connector. And like AnalogKid noted, Phoenix Contact makes this type of Euro connector. What you've got is two-each 3 contact connectors and one 2 contact connector that somebody glued together to form a 8 contact connector. Maybe somebody actually...

    DT9205A multimeter fault in voltages measurements

    Well, the only other DMM I ever saw that had a current-side only fuse, used a big resistor designed to fuse open-circuit at over-voltage of the meter. Thanks for the info Old Steve. My advice then to Technician Tonny, is to open the meter housng, and look for bruned-up components.

    Pencil type soldering iron mod for SMD work.

    Stimulating? You get to solder and shock/vibration test the circuit at the same time. Two birds with one stone.

    For Sale: Huge lots of NOS electronic components for sale - will sell any quantity!

    Good luck with the sales, but wanted to give you my input on your prices. I know the manufacturer cost is high, but there are a lot of surface mount reels out there after product run liquidation. A friend of mine buys liquidation lots and tried selling surface mount reels for $10 each on ebay...

    hardwiring a pcb mount mono switched jack socket help

    A lot of those jacks have electrical contacts, AND a couple of pins that are meant to secure the jack housing to a printed circuit board for physical support only. You need to make sure you're not connecting a sgnal to any physical mount pins that are not intended for signal use. It's an easy...

    DT9205A multimeter fault in voltages measurements

    Don't know your exact problem, like, are you at least seeing zeros in the display, or a dead display. Most multimeters have two fuses. One for the voltage meansurements, and one for the amp readings. Did you check the fuses?

    Dell desktop PSU failure

    I don't know the circumstances of your situation. It SOUNDS like either a design flaw or a production run that incorporates some out-of-manufacturer-specification-tolerance component. I'm speculating that all of the power supplies have the same failure? If so, I'd concentrate on verifying that...

    hardwiring a pcb mount mono switched jack socket help

    Can you post pictures of your installation. It's a little difficult to visualize what you actually have. My thought is that your input jack may not be a mono jack, but a stereo one? That would explain the symptoms as I understand them.
