Two dual ground spring needles for the PCBite SQG15 and SQG30 probes, in both AC and DC versions. The ground part is 3.5 mm (0.14 in) in diameter and places two spring-loaded ground needles on either side of the signal needle, 2.3 mm (0.09 in) from the signal and 4.6 mm (0.18 in) apart.
The short, symmetrical ground return keeps the full rated bandwidth, 1.5 GHz on the SQG15 and 3 GHz on the SQG30. The single ground spring limits the SQG30 to 2 GHz, so the dual spring-loaded ground needles are the choice for measurements above that.
The spring-loaded needles give a consistent, low impedance ground contact without clips or soldering, whether the probe is used handsfree or handheld.
