Tektronix AM6302 Connector Pinout

[Martin72]

Hi,

Got a defective current probe from work.
It seems I´ve found the failure easily:
Some wires are torn from the contacts of the Connector.
But I need a pinout to resolder them to the right places.
Any help ?

Thx,
Martin

Found this so far.

Great ! 

Will check this soon - it seems this pinout could match….
The coax wires(which are still soldered) match with this.

Hope it works for you.

Can tell it on monday, when  I could test it at work with our 503B - It would be great if this works and could be the only issue….a 6302 for free, nice...

If the cable was abused that much, it is quite likely that there are broken wires inside as well.

Broken wires in the connector is a VERY common problem for these probes.   

Also a very common problem with the HP power meter probe connectors.  I snagged a  box of around 100 HP power sensors/cables.  Around half had broken wires in the connectors.

Mhh…
The wires are very short, maybe I must extend them.

If you could move the silver colored "thing" on the R/H side somehow, you can move it back after doing the re-soldering. There seems some sort of a depression to anchor it to the cable but that you can slowly drill out and loosen for the time being until you fix it for good. I would use crimping pliers afterwards to anchor it back.

Hi,

Yes, the "ring" is crimped all around having a hexagonal shape - I´m a little bit afraid to remove it.
Hexagonal crimping pliers we got at work, but the "ring" (don´t know the right word) would be surely difficult to find as a spare part.
On the other side, if If don´t extend the wires, the length would probably become too short for proper assembling the connector housing.
By the way, the sliding knob is missing….
