Problem-free probing
The Agilent wedge probe adapter
eliminates many of the frustrations
associated with probing surface
mount components. If you’ve ever
accidentally shorted IC pins together,
experienced electrical and/or
mechanical problems with soldering
small wires onto leads, or gotten
frustrated juggling multiple probes
while you’re trying to operate your
scope, the Wedge was designed with
you in mind.
Make the inaccessible
accessible
When you use the Wedge, you don’t
have to worry about shorting IC pins
together on a delicate component–or
worse yet on an irreplaceable
prototype. The Wedge is easy to
insert and it stays put. There’s no
need to solder small wires onto
leads. The Wedge is mechanically
non-invasive, so you won’t damage
the legs of the IC. Instead, you’ll
have easy access to hard-to-reach
components.
Electrical reliability
The Wedge makes two contact
points with each leg of the IC. This
redundant physical connection
increases the electrical reliability of
the connection. And the Wedge’s low
capacitance and inductance provides
superior performance to many other
alternatives.
The wedge probe adapter connects
directly to 1145A/1155A active
probes and the dual lead adapter
provided with the 1160A-65A passive
probe family and N2877A/N2879A
accessory kits for use with N287xA
Series passive probes.
IC clip kits
An inexpensive solution for probing
fine-pitch ICs, the 10072A SMT Kit
includes 10 IC clips and 2 dual-lead
adapters that connect the clips
directly to 10070-family probes.
The 10075A 0.5-mm IC clip kit is ideal
for connecting to IC’s as fine as
0.5 mm. The clip body allows many
clips to be mounted side-by-side. The
kit includes four 0.5-mm IC clips and
two dual-lead adapters that connect
the IC clips directly to 10070-family
probes.
