Place the spring-loaded test needle on the signal, set the spring-loaded ground needle next to it and release. The flexible arm holds the probe in position, while the N52 neodymium magnet in the base keeps it locked to the base plate. The 200 MHz passive 10:1 probe stays in place for quick measurements and long triggering sessions, with a probe ID pin that lets compatible oscilloscopes automatically select the correct 10:1 scaling. No soldered wires and no fixtures.
The probe is insulated and can be used handheld like a traditional probe. A low center of gravity keeps it stable when used handsfree, and color coded cable holders in four standard channel colors make each channel easy to trace.
Two ground options are included, the ground spring needle for handsfree measurements and the ground spring for handheld use, both at the full rated bandwidth. A test hook, an alligator clip and ground leads with 2.54 mm (0.100 in) jumper connectors, often called Dupont connectors, cover the connections where no ground pad is close by.
Every PCBite holder uses the same magnetic base, knurled grip and pressure spring, with a standard working height of 50 mm (1.97 in). Each holder includes insulation washers for holding powered PCBs.
