Re: B9A Breakout Box
What is this gizmo for, exactly? What do you plug into the red plastic sockets?

Re: B9A Breakout Box
I like the idea, really neat.
I have a set up where I just connected the B9A to a terminal strip and the soldered the relevant bits and pieces to the other side of the strip. Did result in some instability on the odd occasion however

Re: B9A Breakout Box
Hello,
Thank you for the kind comments. For daviddeakins post: primarily it allows you to bring out all the pins from the Valve under test, enabling you to measure voltages whilst the unit is powered up. Sometimes this can save a lot of time depending on construction of unit. It also simplifies which pin is which. |

Re: B9A Breakout Box
This was the version I mentioned earlier, which allows current as well as voltage checks without disturbing the equipment wiring.
Cheers, Frank |
