Pico Technology TA061 10:1 1.5 GHz Passive Oscilloscope Probe

• Narrow 2.5 mm diameter at the probe tip
• New IC contact system for 0.5 to 1.27 mm pitch
• Interchangeable spring contact tip
• Ideal for measurements of SMT components
• Coaxial design
• Low input capacitance

The TA061 is a low-impedance, low-capacitance probe designed for use with oscilloscopes that have 50 Ω input impedance and SMA input connectors.

The TA061 probe sets new standards in high performance probing. The compact design with only 2.5 mm housing diameter at the probe tip is ideal for measurements of SMT components. It provides a much better visibility over of the device under test than conventional 5 mm probe housing designs. The exchangeable probe tip, a special Pico Technology feature, is also available for the TA061 probe. The gold-plated spring contact and the rigid tip are only 0.5 mm in diameter. Replacement of the tip is easy and convenient for the engineer.

Particularly for HF measurements on IC's, a short as possible ground connection is recommended. Due to long ground leads, most conventional adaptors bring additional inductance and resonances into the measurement which will result in false or inaccurate readings. The innovative IC contact system of the TA061 probe, with 5 different IC adapters from 0.5 to 1.27 mm pitch in combination with the ground blade and IC ground copper pad, is the ideal solution for short-circuit-safe, reproducible and accurate measurements.

With these great advantages and over 30 accessories, the new TA061 probe offers various configurations to solve most connection problems.
