3 in stock

Overview

The P6139B is a high-bandwidth 500 MHz passive voltage probe designed for use with oscilloscopes featuring the TekProbe I interface. It provides 10X attenuation and a high input impedance of 10 Megohms, making it suitable for general-purpose high-speed signal analysis. The probe's compact head design allows for easier access to fine-pitch surface mount components on dense circuit boards.

Why Choose This Part

The 500 MHz bandwidth ensures minimal signal distortion for high-speed signals, while the TekProbe I interface provides automatic scaling and unit readout on compatible Tektronix instruments. Its robust construction and high 300V input voltage rating make it a versatile tool for both low-voltage digital and higher-voltage analog troubleshooting.

Applications

High-Speed Digital Debugging
Capturing fast rise times and clock signals in circuits with frequencies up to 500 MHz.
Power Supply Ripple Analysis
Measuring high-frequency switching noise and ripple on DC power rails.
SMD Probing
Utilizing the small probe head geometry to probe modern surface-mount devices and fine-pitch IC pins.
Signal Integrity Testing
Evaluating pulse shapes and overshoot in high-speed CMOS and TTL logic families.
