HP 1160 Family of Miniature Passive Probes

[ Summary ][ Key Literature ][ Ordering ][ Assistance ][ Related ]
Rugged, general purpose probes for HP Infinium Oscilloscopes

Before we developed the HP 1160 Family of Miniature Probes, we conducted intensive market research. We used focus groups, surveys, and interviews to ask engineers about their frustrations with probing. We heard that probes often slip off the test point being probed and short to adjacent leads. We heard that a variety of ground accessories are needed to connect to different points. And we were told that reliability is always a concern. We used this feedback to guide our development team as we built the HP 1160 Family of Miniature Probes. Check out the results.

A variety of grounding accessories

The HP 1160 Family probes come with an alligator lead for general purpose probing, 4 spring grounds for high frequency measurements, a socketed ground lead and SMD clips for probing 50 mil SMD. Also included is a dual lead adapter so that both the probe tip and ground can be connected to SMD devices. For connection to 0.5mm- 0.8mm devices order the optional HP 10467-687010 0.5mm IC clips.

Reliability

The HP 1160 Family probes are built and tested for high reliability. The cable has a kevlar strengthener for added pull strength. The general purpose retractable hook tip has a durable music wire hook. And probe tips are replaceable.

AutoProbe Interface Compatible

The HP 1160 Family probes are compatible with the AutoProbe Interface, which completely configures the HP Infinium Oscilloscope for the probe. The snap-on BNC conncetor makes it easy to attach the probe to the scope.
