Description
HP Hewlett Packard 11353A Diagnostic Fixture Gold Pin Array Short 0.05V 10V 1kΩ
The Hewlett Packard 11353A is a diagnostic fixture designed for use with HP logic analyzers and automated test equipment (ATE) systems. It provides a dense gold pin array that allows test probes or logic analyzer pods to make reliable contact with a device under test, and includes four selectable reference conditions used for instrument verification and channel diagnostics. This unit was originally sourced from US Navy inventory, making it a rare piece of vintage HP test equipment.

Applications
The HP 11353A Diagnostic Fixture is used with Hewlett-Packard logic analyzers and automated test equipment to verify proper channel operation and probe contact integrity. The four selectable reference conditions — Short, 0.05V, 10V, and 1kΩ — allow a technician to confirm that each channel in a logic analyzer pod or ATE system is reading correctly by presenting a known, repeatable stimulus at every pin simultaneously. This type of fixture was a standard calibration and self-check tool in HP's family of logic analysis and in-circuit test systems, widely used in electronics manufacturing, aerospace, defense, and research environments from the 1970s through the 1990s. Diagnostic fixtures of this type are still sought after by facilities maintaining legacy HP logic analyzer systems, as well as by collectors of vintage HP test instrumentation. The US Navy provenance suggests this unit was part of a military electronics maintenance or avionics test station, which typically demanded high-reliability gold-contact pin arrays of exactly this type.
This Hewlett Packard 11353A Diagnostic Fixture has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The aluminum enclosure shows light surface marks and minor wear consistent with prior service use, but is structurally sound. The gold pin array across both PCB sections is present and visually intact. All four front-panel pushbutton selectors (SHORT, 0.05V, 10V, 1kΩ) are present. The two front coaxial connectors appear undamaged. This unit was originally sourced from US Navy inventory. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
