What is PCBite?
Sensepeek makes user-friendly handsfree tools for everyone who works on a circuit board. We invented every part of PCBite: the handsfree oscilloscope probes, the handsfree debug probes, and the portable base plate with magnetic PCB holders that ties them together. Together they cover soldering, inspection, and measurement from DC to 6 GHz. Every part is designed so you can focus on the board, not the setup.

Measure handsfree. Work without limits.
PCBite turns traditional test equipment into a handsfree measurement system. Connect your probe and let go. Measure with your oscilloscope, multimeter or logic analyzer while keeping both hands free to adjust the circuit. From DC to 6 GHz, PCBite probes are designed to stay exactly where you put them.
If you have the instrument, we have the probe.
Passive 10:1 probes with a standard BNC connector, from 100 MHz to 1.5 GHz. Most models include a probe identification pin, allowing compatible oscilloscopes to recognize the probe and automatically set the 10:1 attenuation.
Every needle, spring-loaded.
Both the test needle and ground needle are spring-loaded, providing a defined, consistent contact force on the pad. This keeps the connection stable throughout the measurement, even if the setup is bumped or exposed to vibration.
We reinvented the ground.
High-end probes often use a spring-loaded signal needle for reliable contact. The same principle is applied to ground with Sensepeek’s patented spring-loaded ground, positioned close to the signal point. The short ground path reduces loop inductance and improves signal integrity, while the spring-loaded ground adds the mechanical stability needed for reliable handsfree measurements.
Soldering & inspection.
Magnetic PCB holders for soldering, inspection, and powered testing.
One setup. From assembly to power-up.
Secure the PCB with the magnetic holders and solder with full access to the pads, regardless of board shape or outline. The board stays put, so both hands stay on the job.
Move the board, not the focus.
The PCB is held level at the same working height, so it stays sharp under the microscope. Slide the whole base plate sideways, forward or back to bring the next area into view, without touching the board or refocusing. Inspect, solder and rework in one continuous session.
Keep every component in focus.
Mount the Component tray on any PCBite holder to keep SMD parts at the same working height as the PCB, easy to see and pick under a microscope. The heat-resistant tray handles hot tweezers, so parts stay close at hand while you solder.
Solder wire, always within reach.
The PCBite Wire stand locks to any PCBite base plate or steel bench and keeps the spool exactly where you put it. The spool rotates smoothly, so the wire feeds out as you work. No tangles, no chasing rolls across the bench.
High-frequency probes
Handsfree probes for RF, high-speed digital, and signal integrity measurements up to 6 GHz.
Built for the signals you work with.
Probe RF traces, matching networks and PCB-mounted RF connectors without soldering a coax pigtail. Connect to a spectrum analyzer, receiver or power meter, and measure the signal where it actually runs.
Dual spring-loaded grounding.
High-end probes use a spring-loaded signal needle. The same principle is applied to ground through patented dual spring-loaded ground needles, improving contact stability and keeping the ground path short. Dual grounding is used across the range and becomes essential above 2.7 GHz for reliable handsfree measurements.
Made to last.
Every material and design detail is chosen to last for years in a demanding lab environment.
Meet the people.
Try the probes
We bring PCBite to electronics trade shows and events, where you can try the probes on a real bench and talk to the people who make them.
