Latest revision as of 04:21, 29 August 2024

In the 1970s, Tek produced their own miniature relays in-house that were used in some 7000-series plug-ins such as the 7A11, 7A12, 7A13, 7A14, and other equipment.

These relays have a tendency to fail and working spares have become very rare. Some of these relays have symmetrical socket layouts so that they can be installed in both possible 180° rotated positions.

Interestingly, Tek appears to have manufactured replacements based on commercial relays in TO-5 metal can cases soldered to small carrier boards with pins matching the Tek sockets.

Possible repair strategies include "micro-surgery" (Ref.1), installing modern miniature gold-contact relays on top of the cut-off base or, if energizing the coil mechanically operates the relay, using a signal source to cycle the relay for a period of time.
