TA282 PICOCONNECT 915

The PICOCONNECT 915 from Pico Technology is a PicoConnect 900 series low capacitance passive oscilloscope probe. The PicoConnect 900 series low capacitance passive oscilloscope probe is designed for RF, microwave applications up to 5GHz and 10Gb/s. With less than 0.4pF tip capacitance and ground-referred loading of 220 ohm to 910 ohm, the PicoConnect probes are less invasive than existing probing solutions. Suited to interfacing with any measuring instrument with 50 ohm inputs, PicoConnect probes allows broadband oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer users to browse circuitry, backplanes, interconnect and systems, typically without interrupting their function and to do so across multiple channels. The innovative in-PCB coplanar construction guarantees underlying microwave integrity along with mechanical precision, strength and electromagnetic immunity. The passive design is inherently resistant to static discharge and demonstrates no significant overload recovery latency or error.

• Interchangeable SMA probe heads at division ratios of 5:1, AC coupled
• Transition time is 70ps
• Extremely low loading capacitance of <lt/> 0.3pF typ, 0.4pF upper test limit
• Slim, fingertip design for accurate and steady probing or solder-in at fine scale
• Specified probe ratio compensated to correct for loading of the low-impedance probe input
• High dynamic range, low noise and implicit linearity and long-term flatness of a passive design
• Screened to minimize noise or response change due to finger proximity and EM interference
• Operating temperature range from 0°C to 50°C
• EN 61010-031 safety requirements for hand-held probe assemblies for electrical measurement and test
• Dimension (probe head) is 68mm x 19mm x 11mm, nominal probe tip pitch is 5mm
