Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
The exterior of the probe and cable should be cleaned, using a soft cloth moistened with water. The
use of abrasive agents, strong detergents, or other solvents may damage the exterior of the probe.
The probe case is not sealed and should never be immersed in any fluid.
Replacing Damping Resistors on the Solder-in
Interconnect Lead
The external damping resistors locate the tip resistance as close to the device under test as possible,
which minimizes tip inductance and capacitance and provides very favorable loading characteristics.
However, these resistors are subject to mechanical stress and may periodically need to be replaced
even if proper stress-relief precautions are taken. Replacement damping resistors are included with
the probe, and replacement of these resistors is simple. Resistors are pre-cut to the right lead
lengths, so all that is required is removal and attachment of the new resistor.
Follow these steps to correctly remove the damaged damping resistors and to solder a new resistor
to your tip. It is assumed that the person performing the resistor replacement is familiar with fine
pitch soldering techniques.
