N2830A-Series Probes

Handling Guide

Tack-Putty

Keysight recommends the use of tack putty for securing both probe

heads and amplifiers. Tack putty can be ordered using part number

N5439-65201. Wrap a small amount of tack-putty around your

probe head cables, taking care to not pinch them. The mass can

then be secured to a rigid body neat your DUT.

Similar techniques can be used to secure probe amplifiers where

you apply some tack-putty to the underside of the probe amplifier

body and attach it to a rigid body near your DUT.

You can also use putty with a positioner, such as the N2787A as

shown in the following figure.
