  • Page 26: Replaceable Parts

    User's Guide Maintenance Replaceable Parts When wiring or soldering, use low hydrochloric acid solder (Agilent part number: 8090-0433) to prevent the flux in the solder from spreading unnecessarily. When soldering, make sure the terminals do not make contact with each other. After soldering, make sure that there are no lint bridges so that leakage current is minimal.
