Making DUT Connections using Probe Accessories
You can connect your probe to the DUT using appropriate accessories that suit
your specific probing and DUT connectivity requirements.
This section provides information on the recommended DUT connectivity options
available for these probes using the supplied and orderable accessories.
DUT Connectivity Options
NOTE
Gently press the probing accessory into the probe’s
tip until fully seated. The label on the probe tip
indicate the probe’s positive and negative leads.
Option 1: Using Probe Tip Directly
The probe tip’s sockets can fit 0.64 mm (0.025 inch) header
pins with 0.100 inch pitch. You can connect the probe tip
directly to header pins on DUT.
When connecting the probe tip directly to DUT header
pins, you can also use the probe tip saver supplied with the probe.
The probe tip saver helps in preventing damage to the probe tip due
to repeated connections and disconnections. Its use is
recommended if you expect to make more than 1000 cycles of
connect/disconnect.
Option 2: Using Straight Pins
To attach a pin, gently press the ridge end of the pin into
the probe’s tip until it is fully seated.
To remove a pin, gently pull the pin straight off the probe
tip.
Do not apply excessive force when attaching or detaching
the pin.
These straight pins can be used to probe components with
0.100 inch pitch.
