Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid electric shock or fire, observe all markings
on the oscilloscope before connecting. Consult the respective oscilloscope
product manual for further ratings information.
Do not remove probe casing. Removing the probe’s case or touching exposed
connections may result in electric shock.
Use only within operational environment listed. Do not use in wet or explosive
atmospheres. Keep product surfaces clean and dry.
Use only accessories compatible with the probe.
Handle with care. The probe tip is extremely sharp and may puncture skin or
cause other bodily injury if not handled properly.
Keep fingers behind the finger guard of probe body and accessories.
Do not operate with suspected failures. Before each use, inspect the probe and
accessories for any potential damage such as tears or other defects in the probe
body, cable jacket, accessories, etc. If any part is damaged, cease operation
immediately and sequester the probe from inadvertent use.
Introduction
The PP066 is a ÷10 high frequency probe using a special 50 Ω cable with an SMA
connector for high-speed transmission line type measurements. Input resistance
is 500 Ω. It is designed to be used with high bandwidth oscilloscopes.
A ÷20 attenuation probe resistor is included to increase the input resistance to 1
kΩ. An SMA-to-BNC adapter has been provided to connect the probe to an
oscilloscope with a BNC input connector for measurements at lower frequencies.
The spring loaded, hinged ground pin contributes to contact stability, in addition
to making it easier to reach into dense circuitry.
The PP065 is a ÷100 probe using a 50 Ω cable with a BNC connector for
transmission line type measurements. Input resistance is 5 kΩ.
NOTE: For proper attenuation and high-speed performance, the PP066 and
PP065 probes must be connected to an oscilloscope having a 50 Ω input.
