Hello,
I need to identify some modern parts I can use to replace some of the transistors from the Keithley 197. I have compiled a
complete parts list from many sources (three different meters, the K197 manual, other Keithley manuals). The order of the items in the list exactly matches the parts list and schematic linked below.
As far as transistors go, I need replacements for:
Schematic Part | Part ID | Alt. Part ID | Sugg. Repl. Part | Notes |
Q104/Q107/Q108 | J2067 | PN/PF5301 | J113 | JFET Matched with Q105/Q106/Q109, with a different pinch-off voltage. |
Q105/Q106/Q109 | J2715 | J210 | J110 | JFET Matched with Q104/Q107/Q108, with a different pinch-off voltage. |
Q101/Q102 | GES5818 | | | Glass-Passivated something. Used as a protection diode? |
Q114/Q115 | 2N5089 | | | Used for ?? |
Q103/Q127 | 2N5089 | | | Used for ?? |
The
schematic is available. I am confident that I need a replacement for one GES5818 (it presents as two resistors). I am also pretty sure I need a replacement for Q112 (not listed, but it's also a PF5301). But, in general, I will need to get a bunch of these and figure out how and why they were matched, and try to match as closely as possible so as to not destroy the calibration.
The parts with notes in
bold I don't understand exactly how they are used in this configuration (or at least *why* that particular transistor is used, in that configuration). I am pretty sure Q114/Q115 and Q103/Q127 are involved in the guarding system.
Can anyone shed some light on this? What modern parts should I use to replace those JFETs? Are J110 and J113 really suitable replacement parts? (I found this suggestion in some other forum).
If you are really feeling generous, I would also appreciate someone finding a pin-for-pin replacement for OP01 and OP02.
And eventually, I might want to replace several ICs with modern, low-noise (or lower-offset) parts. So if you can think of replacements for parts like the TLC272LCP, the TLC271CP, the buffer amplifier LF356H, and MP842. If you could provide any guidance here, it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
