    Ungar hotvac model 4000 I need tips for this!

    bump still looking for tips for my ungar hotvac model 4000 I'd rather buy some new tips then shell out for a den-on sc-7000z or hakko 808 so please if you know a place with tips let me know please!!

    Ungar hotvac model 4000 I need tips for this!

    I'm looking for tips for my Ungar Hotvac Model:4000 this rude boy right here **broken link removed** I have to tips but I'd like backups / more sizes. I found one place action-electronics.com but they have NLA (no longer available) :(

    My tr808 fix up job... but i'm confused about parts to get

    I numbered my questions 1-4 I'm looking to purchase parts for my tr 808 but I'm some what confused. I want to start by recapping, replacing diodes, replace switches for the 16 steps, and then re-calibrate it. The problem is that I'm not 100% sure what kind of diodes to purchase. I have...

    Why am I always calculating Voltage Drop, instead of "remaining voltage"

    I am plowing through this teach yourself electronics book & anytime I have to calculate anything to do with voltage it is always voltage drop. Why don't I ever have to calculate how much voltage is left after the drop? I asked a friend this and he said there "is no voltage left over"...

    Newbie confused about diodes reversed bias forward bias like charges repelling etc

    Thanks to both of you two. Both of the explanations really help. One follow up question. In a reverse biased diode, where does the energy go? Does the energy get from stopping the current get turned into heat and absorbed by the air like with a resistor?

    Newbie confused about diodes reversed bias forward bias like charges repelling etc

    I have an understanding problem with diodes, and current. I understand that silicon diodes are doped to give part of them P & N. The P sections having more holes, and being called an anode. The N sections having more electrons and being called a cathode. I understand that diodes are not...

    Trouble understand Voltage Divider and purpose of two resistors

    dknguyen; I see now that it is clear that these Voltage measurements i.e V out is referenced to ground and being measured across the resistor, Z2, that makes a lot of sense now. I wasn't aware that if Vout just has a name w/o anything else by default it is referenced to ground...

    Trouble understand Voltage Divider and purpose of two resistors

    I am still a little bit confused. after crunching some numbers from doing calculations with resistors of different values. Say the two resistors are of different values. V = 5 , I = 5/6 , R 1 = 1 , R 2 = 5 If I where to measure the Voltage drop across R1 I would get V 1 = 5/6...

    Trouble understand Voltage Divider and purpose of two resistors

    I have some questions about the voltage divider. Voltage divider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Here is what I think is going on. The voltage starts at the negative terminal i.e V in then goes to the first resistor Z1. & in my mind i'm thinking why isn't Vout determined by current...
