6364 Series, Test Probe Tips

Test Probe Tips are crucial components used to connect test equipment to the circuit, chip, or design being tested. These tips typically consist of a cylindrical rod with a specialized head that facilitates the connection between the probe and the device under test. There are various types of probe tips available, each featuring a distinct head design for specific testing requirements. These include concave, convex, crown, clamp, point or blade, and hooked end tips, among others. The other end of the probe tip is usually connected to a wire lead, which connects to the test equipment. Key characteristics of probe tips include: Tip type: The tip type refers to the specific shape of the probe tip, such as pointed, rounded, or flat, optimized for different testing applications. Connection type: The connection type indicates how the probe tip connects to the test equipment, such as BNC, banana, or SMA connectors. Tip length: The tip length refers to the distance from the probe tip's end to the beginning of the wire lead, affecting the accessibility and ease of use during testing. Overall length: The overall length of the probe tip includes the tip length and the length of the wire lead, ensuring compatibility with different testing environments and applications. Voltage rating: The voltage rating indicates the maximum voltage level the probe tip can safely measure without damage or safety risks. Cable rating: The cable rating refers to the maximum current capacity and insulation level of the wire lead, categorized into different levels (CAT I, CAT II, CAT III, CAT IV, IEC) based on their application and testing requirements. By offering a range of probe tips with varying designs and characteristics, users can select the most suitable probe tips for their specific testing needs, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements. Probe tips play a critical role in various industries and applications, including electronics, telecommunications, and power systems, among others.
