Borrow Q108 (or any of the like devices) to test your hypothesis. It is just used as a low leakage protection diode. You can replace Q108 with almost any n-ch fet.

Subject: [volt-nuts] FET HP3456A


I have been troubleshooting a HP3456A voltmeter.

Its giving a stange fault, but I beleive I have nailed it down. The unit is reading +10.00000 volts input at +9.99661 volts. If you reverse the input, it reads correct at -10.00000 volts. All other ranges read correct on either polarity.

What I need is a source for the FET A20 Q109 or a suitable substitute. Its HP part number 1855-0298, it was made originally by USA mfg 02883 - Siliconix, Inc, Santa Clara, CA. It crosses to NSN 5961-01-135-1324. And Vishay has bought them and the part number is now obselete.
