Accessory Details
PCB Adapter Kit
The PCB Adapter sockets are designed to solder into a printed circuit board (PCB)
as test points to minimize ground inductance and maximize signal fidelity. Below
is a picture showing one of these PCB sockets attached to a PCB.
The recommended PCB layout is shown in the manual that accompanied your
N2870A Series probe. The PCB socket is compatible with hand soldering and
reflow processes. After soldering the socket - both the signal contact and ground
contact - to the board, simply insert the probe. The PCB adapter is compatible
with either the rigid or spring-loaded probe tip.
Insulator Cap
This cap is meant to fit over the probe tip and cover the ground barrel of the
probe, covering any potential shorting locations near the tip. This enables you to
probe in hot environments without having to worry about shorts.
