Re: Suggestions - Broken Emulator Pins

Bob,

  I have a Fluke 9010 pod that had some broken pins. I dug down into the
plastic body to expose about 1/16" of the pin then got a good gold pin from
a wire wrap socket and soldering to the reamins of the pin. I used a top
quality electronics silver solder (Kester) that melts at a low temperature
(~375d) and a temperture controlled iron. I cut the pin to the correct
length before soldering and soldered the cut end to the old pin. That
leaves the smooth round end of the pin exposed. So far it's held up fine.
