3rd party source for passive probe internal parts

[Ashraf_Farrag]

There is an existing thread here calling for the source of one part and noting that individual internal parts are not stocked.

Unfortunately, I committed the same crime (one accessory port, long day, tired operator and the wrong thing was plugged in). I have found appropriate DIN wiring parts and the schematics to install a second port so this does not happen to me again.

In my case, in addition to a bent tip (that part is available) and one pogo being sticky (replacement part noted in that thread), I need the pivot assembly because one conductive arm broke.

Anyone have a line on that? I hate to just toss the entire assembly given it looks like it is salvageable.

Source replacement Pogo Pins for passive probe

Pretty much says it all. Had an unfortunate mistake with a Tormach passive probe - drove it down in Z while my other probe was plugged in. The only thing broken is 2 of the 6 spring loaded pins got crushed enough to jam. I’m sure it would wok if I replaced them. Pics: [IMG_5117] [IMG_5116] [IMG_5036] I spent quite a bit of time on Digikey.com and Mouser.com trying to find replacements. I couldn’t find any that matched diameters. The base/outer section is 3mm and the moving sprung pin …

Can you post pictures of the probe/parts you need? Picture of the outside/case is most helpful so I can see which model it is/was

Thanks for the pictures, unfortunately that one is too new for the parts I have. I don’t have any more pogo pins but I do have some of the pivot centers but all earlier models

Thanks for checking….back to the drawing board…
