Probe-Tip-to-Circuit Board Adapters
The probe-tip-to-circuit board adapters let you design minimum inductance
test points into your next circuit board. That adapter provides maximum
performance for the probe, because it virtually eliminates ground inductance
effects.
Instructions for installing the probe tip-to-circuit board adapters are packaged
with the adapters. For the best performance and ease of testing, Tektronix
strongly recommends that you incorporate the probe tip-to-circuit board
adapters (or the probe tip-to-chassis adapters described below) into your next
design.
To use your probe with these adapters, unscrew and remove the ribbed
ferrule. Use the probe tip directly with the adapter.
SMT KlipChip
TM
The SMT KlipChip provides hands-free attachment to a physically small
signal or ground source. The low profile of the KlipChip allows you to grasp
surface-mounted devices that the full-size retractable hook tip can not grip.
You can use the KlipChip as a ground attachment, as a signal attachment, or
to attach both to a ground and a signal.
For a ground attachment, use the long ground lead (described on
page 3-100) terminated with a pin receptacle, and connect the termination
to the pin in one of the KlipChip shoulders.
For a signal attachment, use a single-lead adapter (similar to the dual-
lead adapter described on page 3-103), and connect the termination to
the pin in one of the KlipChip shoulders.
For both ground and signal attachment, combine two KlipChips with a
dual-lead adapter, or use a single-lead adapter and a long ground lead.
Optional probe accessories that you can order include the following:
Low-Inductance Spring Tips
The low-inductance spring tips can be used whenever you are measuring
devices with fixed spacings. The spring-tip is ideal for repetitive production
use. Select different length springs to match device spacings on a variety of
components. Because the spring-tip ground lead simply contacts the ground
reference (instead of clipping onto it) you can move the probe around your
device-under-test with ease.
