Keithley 2015 Front/Rear Terminal Switch Replacement
« on: November 11, 2016, 09:35:18 pm »
The terminal switch on my Keithley 2015 has sprung and thus has unfortunately turned itself into a momentary switch.

Does anyone have an idea of what kind of switch is used and where I could get a replacement? I'm guessing its a 4PDT type but the number of pins suggest it may be more complex internally.

It is a 6PDT switch.  I did the replacement a couple of months ago.  If I remember correctly, I used Mouser 611-SF6UEE.  The only problem I had was that the switch body was about 1 mm longer than the original one and it hit the component at the rear of the switch.  But it was easy to bend the leads of the component and move it a bit.

Thanks so much for the part number!

Bonus: Mouser is so close by my location that ground shipments get to me overnight. (or I can just call it in and pick it up if I'm really in a bind.)
