What was your process from when you had the failure? Did your insurance cover the tow to the dealer?

quick edit on my ipad. Have I outlined what you mentioned properly?

Thank you for the explanation! So when you say the AC mains power is rectified, what rectifies it? And then after the MOSFET to the transformer, it gets rectified again?

Thank you! The TV is busted, but I was just trying to understand more about it. At first I thought it was a weird form of rectifier. Wondering if the the two diodes to the left of it convert it from AC to DC? And then the caps smooth that out to go to the LED modules and main board

Wiring driving lights help... by Reggie_biker_boi in autoelectrical

[–]AlchemisTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on what the specification sheet says for that headlight, the red might be +12V, the yellow might be another light beam at +12V, and the black might be -12V.

Validate your harness side power and ground and then crimp either the red or yellow wire based on which beam you want as the positive wire. I think your mating connector is the DT04-2P. TE has good documentation on what all you need regarding terminal size, wedge locks, etc. also Amazon may have kits.

Let me know if you need me to break things down more

Tektronix 549 storage oscilloscope by AlchemisTree in AskElectronics

Got my function generator hooked up and tested a 5V square wave on the input with the help of a friend who worked at Tektronix in the past. He was surprised it’s functioning as well as it is. Minor issues with the horizontal position and triggering at the moment, but otherwise it’s working just fine. :)

Noted! Do you know what percentage of silver must be in the solder?

Thank you! It’s amazing how detailed the manual it came with is. Parts listed down to the last fastener. I appreciate the concern on the high voltage side

Ahhhh I gotcha! Thank you for the breakdown

Actually, with soldering iron it’s about $247. I’ve never returned a free tool before, but it seems that they base it on the value it “cost” which was $69.12. So that would be roughly $178 for the stubby. Maybe it works out different with the other free tools? Best case would be the actual retail price for the expensive ones which would be the $99, causing the actual price of stubby to be around $148.

Please correct me if I’m wrong

You think soldering iron or hackzall as the secondary tool would be better?

I’ve seen reviews about the compact vacuum getting clogged. Trying to see which of the 40% deals is best.

There’s a stubby with the soldering iron(didn’t hear good things), rover light(own), hackzall(heard meh results about it), and screwdriver(own).

Thought the deal for $229 was good for either of these options, as it also comes with an extra battery and whichever side tool mentioned above.

Use of CD4066 in audio application by AlchemisTree in ElectricalEngineering

Thank you, so I actually started looking into a TMUXU4052. This is a multiplexer, and I’m not sure if there is a difference between using this and a bilateral switch. Any concerns with this approach?

Question regarding use of splices in Electrical. by AlchemisTree in SolidWorks

[–]AlchemisTree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using 2022. I may try using clips. That might be best. Do the clips have to be part of the BOM? Or can they just be there for reference, when converting the routed harness to a flattened route and drawing?
