Variety of Connections (Continued)
Use the optional accessory kits to provide
access to signals and components that
are difficult to probe.
Figure 6. With
today’s miniature IC- and
component-packaging
techniques, probing
can be a considerable
challenge. Use 0.5 mm
QFP IC clips with TQFP/
PQFP packages with 0.5
mm lead pitch or greater,
or use pico-hook clips
made for connections
over components or wires
with leads up to 0.04”
diameter or smaller.
Figure 7. The dual lead
adapter allows you
to easily connect the
N2870A Series probe to
a popular 0.1” pin header
with 0.025” square pins.
This dual lead adapter
has no shorting hazards
since all external metal
surfaces are insulated.
Figure 8. An IC cap
adapter and ground blade
with optional N2786A
two-leg probe positioner
offers an ideal hands-
free solution for short
circuit-proof probing of a
fine-pitch IC. The N2877A
deluxe accessory kit
and N2878A fine-pitch
accessory kit contain one
N2786A two-leg probe
positioner.
