Designing and Probing with Target Connections

Right-Angle Mictor Adapter

For systems with space
constraints above the 38-pin
connector, Agilent Technologies
offers a right-angle adapter, as
shown in Figure 7.1. With the
E5346-63201 right-angle adapter
inserted in the 38-pin connector,
the adapter cable is connected
parallel to the target board
surface. When using the
right-angle adapters, the 38-pin
connectors must be placed
end-to-end on the target board,
as shown in Figure 7.2. Support
shrouds cannot be used with the
right-angle adapter.

Note: the right-angle adapter
adds significant capacitance and
inductance in series with the
probe. It is not recommended for
state speeds above 100 MHz or for
signals with rise times < 4 - 5 ns.
