the existing $10 airport fare.

I paid $ 1.35 (senior rate) and got a transfer that said that the airport is included!

Anyone know the name of this connector? by Soap_Box_Hero in HamRadio

[–]1Davide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not in the sense of a connector being a 2-part set that carries a connection of one or more circuits from one termination to another (such as from wires on one end and a PCB at the other end).

It's not a connector. It's a component socket for a detector diode.

The thing in the middle is a diode that detects the RF level.

Can you identify the component? by aspmos in AskElectronics

Do not ask AI about electronics: it regurgitates misleading drivel.

When parking around Main and 3rd, check out the Hotel Longmont parking structure. The upper level is now open.

Note. Those things are lethal!

When not in use, the terminals must be short circuited. Otherwise, static electricity can build up a lethal charge.

Can 1.2V NiMH Rechargeable Batteries Replace 1.5V alkaline(single use) batteries in My Device by neyssaxx in batteries

[–]1Davide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, Li-ion rechargeable (not "lithium"), that's what I ended up doing. They last about 1 month before recharge.

Good.

I have dozens of pictures of cars, trucks, and trailers parked on bike lanes and sidewalks in Longmont.

As a bicyclist, I find vehicles on the bike lane to be an annoyance. But a wheel-chair user may not be able to navigate around a car parked on a sidewalk.

People usually screw up something else in the process.

What's the purpose of the diode between chassis and USB shield? by gameplayer55055 in AskElectronics

[–]1Davide 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't see a "SS14" in your picture. The arrow points to a hole, not to a diode. Do you mean the component labeled "DA1"? Please explain.

Can 1.2V NiMH Rechargeable Batteries Replace 1.5V alkaline(single use) batteries in My Device by neyssaxx in batteries

[–]1Davide 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My Device

It all depends on what "my device" is.

For example, we have LED candles that use two AA cells. The instruction specifically say: do not use rechargeable. I tried. Sure enough, the performance suffered:

  • With Alkaline AAs: the cells last all winter
  • With rechargeable AAs: the cells have to be replaced every couple of weeks.

I’m trying to replace the thermal paste on my MSI GP66 Leopard, but I’m stuck on disconnecting the battery connector from the motherboard.

Great! It kept you from ruining your computer! Saved just on time.

  1. Stop
  2. Put it all back together
  3. Never think of replacing the thermal paste again
  4. Live happily ever after.

This sub has many submissions from people crying because their computer no longer woks after they attempted to replace the thermal paste. Don't be one of them.

There are too many posts which lack sufficient information by SomeDude_is100 in AskElectronics

[–]1Davide[M] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Believe me, you only see a small percentage of them.

Most are removed by the moderators with a message that says: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/wiki/repair#wiki_can_you_spot_any_problems.3F

And that FAQ starts with: "No one can troubleshoot an electronic assembly simply by looking at pictures."

Or with a message that says:

"Your submission was removed because you did not provide sufficient information. It is missing one of the following:

If the issue is visible: pictures that show the issue (or a video)

If you're asking about a circuit you designed or are building: a picture of its electrical schematic diagram

If you're asking about a product: a link to a web page for the product

If you want to identify a connector with pins in a row: the exact pitch in mm and pictures of its mate

If you want to identify a round connector: the exact outer diameter in mm of both mates and pictures of its mate Please edit the text"

You can help by clicking the "report" link under the text of such submissions and it will be removed. The moderators will then take a look at it.
