Hi

I've been looking for cross-reference information on HP 1970-0062 displays - the usual places (Sphere etc.) don't seem to have anything on these. Atualy displays would be good too!

Any information gratefully received!

I hate to tell you this but HP often marched to the beat of a different drummer, in that many times their IN HOUSE made parts had 'NO' commercial equivalents. I will look later this morning to see if I can find something for you, but DON'T hold your breath!!! Ira.

Hi Nick, No luck here in my cross references, nor at HP, nor at any of
the part number on line search sites, nor on the internet. Something
does not seem correct here. Please provide a pic of the part, the model
number of HP equipment it was used in, a pic of the 'part number', and
as good a description of the part as possible, and I may be of more
help. Ira.

Isn'it PANAPLEX® is a registered patent and brand by Burroughs? Great chance HP's component is a by Burroughs rebranded item at HHP's order....

Yeah^ HP had their own part numbers for lots of things, I'd bet it's Burroughs or Sperry part, send pics

I have H-P literature here from 1974 that does NOT show the '1970' prefix of your part number, as being valid, not that it could not have been used later than that date. Ira.

Are you referring to the 9-segment / 13-character display ? It's multiplexed and requires 2mA per segment.

More on this - we dismantled the board and the display is a Burroughs Panaplex II type BR 12250. If anyone has any of these they are willing to part with, that'd be great!

BTW, HP 1970-xxxx numbers are generally white-labelled display devices. In my stock I have HP branded 1970-0009 (B5991 nixie), 1970-0012 (B5992 nixie) and 1970-0035 (NL5441A nixie). There are several others too...

Cheers

Thanks. I'm glad you were able to figure it out, as I could find no reference to '1970-' anywhere, including my own parts room. Ira.
