Obtaining  Replacement  Parts 

Standard  Paris. 

All  electrical  and  mechanical  part  re­

placements  for  the  Type  7 A22  can  be  obtained  through  your 

local  Tektronix  Field  Office  or  representative.  However, 

many  of  the  standard  electronic  components  can  be  ob­

tained  locally  in  less  time  than  is  required  to  order  them 

from  Tektronix,  Inc.  Before  purchasing  or  ordering  replace­

ment  parts,  check  the  parts  lists  for  value, tolerance, rating 

and  description. 

NOTE 

When  selecting  replacement  parts,  it  is  important 

to  remember  that  the  physical  size  and  shape  of 

the  component  may  affect  its  performance  in  the 

instrument,  particularly  at  high  frequencies.  All 

replacement  parts  should  be  direct  replacements 

unless  it  is  known  that  a  different  component  will 

not  adversely  affect  instrument  performance. 

Special  Parts. 

Some  parts  are  manufactured  or  selected 

by  Tektronix  to  satisfy  particular  requirements, or  are  manu­

factured  for  Tektronix  to  our  specifications.  These  and  most 

4-2 

mechanical  parts  should  be  ordered  through  your  Tektronix 

Field  Engineer  or  Field  Office.  See  Parts  Ordering  Informa­

tion  and  Special  Notes  and  Symbols  on  the  page  immedi­

ately  preceding  Section  6. 

Soldering  Techniques 

Circuit  Boards. 

Use  ordinary  60/40  solder  and  a  35-

to  40-watt  pencil  type  soldering  iron  on  the  circuit  boards. 

The  tip  of  the  iron  should  be  clean  and  properly  tinned 

for  best  heat  transfer  to  the  solder  joint.  A  higher  wattage 

soldering  iron  may  separate  the  etched  wiring  from  the 

base  material. 

The  following  technique  should  be  used  to  replace  a 

component  on  the  circuit  board.  Most  components  can  be 

replaced  without  removing  the  board  from  the  unit. 

1.  Grip  the  component  lead  with  long-nosed pliers.  Touch 

the  soldering  iron  to  the  lead  at  the  solder  connection.  Do 

not  touch  the  soldering  iron  tip  directly  on  the  board,  as 

it  may  damage  the  board. 

2.  When  the  solder  begins  to  melt,  pull  the  lead  out 

gently.  This  should  leave  a  clean  hole  in  the  board.  If  not, 

the  hole  can  be  cleaned  by  reheating  the  solder  and  plac­

ing  a  sharp  object,  such  as  a  toothpick  or  pointed  tool, 

into  the  hole  to  clean  it  out. 

3.  Bend  the  leads  of  the  new  component  to  fit  the  holes 

in  the  board.  Cut  the  leads  of  the  new  component  to  the 

same length  as  those  of  the  old  component.  Insert  the  leads 

into  the  board  until  the  component  is  firmly  seated  against 

the  board,  or  as  positioned  originally.  If  it  does  not  seat 

properly,  heat  the  joint,  and  gently  press  the  component 

into  place. 

4.  Apply  the  iron  and  a  small  amont  of  solder  to  the  con­

nection  to  make  a  firm  solder  joint.  To  protect  heat-sensitive 

components,  hold  the  lead  between  the  component  body 

and  the  solder  joint  with  a  pair  of  long-nose  pliers  or  other 

heat si nk (see Fig.  4-l). 

5.  Clip  the  excess  lead  that  protrudes  through  the  board. 

6.  Clean  the  area  around  the  soldered  connection  with 

flux-remover  solvent  to  maintain  good  environmental  char­

acteristics  and  appearance.  Be  careful  not  to  remove  in­

formation  printed  on  the  board.
