Overview

The PK007-016 is a specialized ground spring accessory designed for Teledyne LeCroy passive probes. It provides a low-inductance ground path directly at the probe tip to minimize ringing and signal distortion during high-speed measurements. This component is essential for maintaining signal integrity when probing circuits with fast edge rates.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage of the PK007-016 is its ability to significantly reduce the inductance of the ground return path compared to a standard 6-inch ground lead. Its small form factor allows for hands-free grounding when used with adjacent PCB ground vias or pads, ensuring repeatable and accurate waveforms.

Applications

High-Speed Signal Integrity
Used to minimize ground loop inductance when measuring fast-rise-time digital signals where standard alligator ground leads introduce excessive ringing.
PCB Power Rail Probing
Ideal for probing bypass capacitors and power planes with minimal noise pickup from the surrounding environment.
Switching Regulator Analysis
Provides a stable, short ground connection for observing high-frequency switching transients in DC-DC converters.
