[time-nuts] Another LPRO-101 Rb Osc question...

[Mark Sims]

Do NOT drill, distort,  or otherwise manipulate the LPRO case.  It is actually a mu-metal magnetic shield.  These are fabricated  and then specially annealed.  If you bend it, etc you can destroy the shielding properties.  If you want to mount a terminal strip, etc to the case use something like double sided tape.

The case top does just snap onto the base.  Remove the hex jack screws on the interface connector.  Gently pry the top cover off...  beware of the above warning.  It is very easy to bend the case getting it off.


Yes, the rubbery film on the bottom of the case is a silicone rubber heat transfer pad.  If  you mess yours up you can use regular heat sink grease (well known for mysteriously coating everything within a 10 foot radius with white goo once you open the container)


-----------------

I would like to place a small terminal strip
on the top of the case with an RF connector
and some easy/convenient connection lugs for power
and monitoring, etc.
