Title: Adding front panel binding posts to HP 6060B DC Load
Post by: fivesixzero on June 22, 2021, 10:44:00 pm
Hi friends,

I just finished adding front panel binding posts to my new-to-me HP 6060B electronic load! I figured I'd share a link to my project here along with the OpenSCAD script I created for a thin panel to hold the binding posts in place. And, of course, some tasty images.

The script as well as some basic info, including parts details, are in this GitHub repo:

https://github.com/fivesixzero/hp-6060b-front-binding-post-mod

I'm hoping the OpenSCAD script and the details there can help anyone else who's looking to do a similar thing in the future. For now though, here are some images of the modified device during and after installation. :)

Hi there, any idea where to get a pair of these HP original binding posts in this day in age? I am aware this is a bit of an old post but was hoping to find some leads. Keysight has them listed as PN 1510-0134, ordeable but not in stock.

A pair of used original posts in good shape would be fine with me, if anyone has a pair laying about and not using them. Even a single one would be helpful as one on my HP6060B is damaged.

I might even consider any other type of posts that have similar current capability but would rather stay with the originals, as they among other advantages can easily accommodate up to AWG #4 without much fuss. Generic ones don't even come close to that.

Does anyone know who the original manufacturer of these posts is? The HP service manual being from the 90s does no longer have the usual detailed list of parts suppliers included as it used to be done before. The posts itself do not seem to have any brand or OEM part number markings on them. But if anyone has some information on this because you spotted it on your own binding posts, please share and it would be greatly appreciated.
