Does anyone know of a ready made board that will allow me to mount and at the 
least, minimally support the operation of an MV89A oscillator. I have one which 
I've powered up deadbug style and would like to clean up the mess a little. 

Thanks

[time-nuts] Vectron MC2003X4-001W Oscillator

2020-05-12 Thread Bruce Hunter via time-nuts
Well I probed the connector pins and learned enough to operate these 
oscillators.  At +10 V input , the input current ceased increasing.  Output was 
10 MHz.  As a fellow list member offered, these are apparently ruggedized 
oscillators, designed to minimize phase noise under vibration conditions -- 
otherwise a ho-hum form of oscillator.  Thanks to those that helped.

Potted! That just makes the challenge all the more interesting. Chip and

Is it a MicroD? There are some inexpensive plastic connectors that are 
compatible (I can't remember the part number, but if they are MicroD, 
I'll track it down). You might check Omnetics, too.





If the cover can be removed potentially much more insight can be gained.
Given at this point they are worthless. No harm or foul in diving in.
Potentially you can at least find ground on the pins.

Re: [time-nuts] Bourns for fine frequency tuning

A suggestion. When you obtain the new pots at least obtain some high
temperature epoxy and fix the problem ahead of time. A small amount should
help.
This may be difficult but I also find calling helps get samples. Though
today the chance of someone picking up a phone seems to be negative.

   I made a mistake on the product nr.

   The correct value is 100k so the pn is 3700S-196-104

   As  Matthias suggest I have placed a samples request directly to Bourns.

   The data sheet has no 100K version. Also the type number is probably a typo.

   1004 would mean 100  which would be 1 Meg, practically impossible to

   10K is probably just OK.

   Hi,

   good suggestion, I have seen the form for requesting samples.

   I will also try this path. In any case, if someone had to sell, let me know

   Sorry for the broken link, but just search Mouser for "3700S-1-104L" and it
   will show up. Unfortunately, it's a "non-stock" item, but maybe you can get a
   sample directly from Bourns?

   Thanks Matthias,

   Mouser and Digikey have in catalog but not in stock the 100K version.

   The 100k value for them is not required enough and they suggest that they 
could have them but only if the order is for a large number of pieces.

[time-nuts] Bourns for fine frequency tuning

2020-05-12 Thread timeok


   Hi everyone,

   I need your help to find a particular Bourns potentiometer that many 
frequency standard company use for frequency fine tuning in their oscillators. 
In my experience, both HP in 107BR and Frequency Electronics in the AN URQ-23 
use this potentiometer which has a value of 100k Ohm.

   Unfortunately I can't replace it with other models and by doing some 
research I found some but at most with a resistance of 10K Ohm. I need two 
pieces, but if I find more, I would keep them in reserve. The problem with 
these multiturns is that  the back cover comes off and no longer work. Some can 
be glued again, others are damaged internally in the cursor because the 
operator insisted trying to force the spindle.
   In the case of the HP107BR the potentiometer is installed in the external 
oven and the temperature has accentuated the gluing problem. In this regard, 
suggestions on which glue can be used for high temperatures are welcome.

   The model is:   Bourns 3700S-196-1004

   thanks,
