RT-ZMA14 Tip Cable Flex Connect
The R&S
RT-ZMA14 tip cable flex connect makes an easy to clamp and remove
connection onto solder-in flex tips soldered directly to the DUT, and supports the
full bandwidth of the probe amplifier.
The R&S
RT-ZMA14 tip cable flex connector is
suited for contacting with soldered-in flex tips.
Solder as many flex tips onto your DUT as
needed and easily connect and reconnect dif-
ferent test points using the clamp connector of
the tip cable.
Bandwidth: up to 16 GHz
MultiMode compatible
Length: 15 cm
Variable span range of the leads: 0 mm to 5
mm (0 mil to 200 mil)
Temperature range: -30°C to +80°C
Permanently solder the flex tips and ground
wire (GND) to your DUT and effortlessly con-
nect or reconnect your RT-ZMA14 tip cable
using its clamp connector.
In this configuration, you can measure single-
ended, differential and common mode signals.
However, if you are making only differential
measurements you do not have to solder the
ground wires (GND) to the two ground vias at
both sides of the flex tips. For differential mea-
surements only, optionally cut off the ground
vias to reach smaller probing areas.
Always keep soldered pins and resistors as
short as possible for best performance and
signal integrity.
Risk of damaging the probe due to excess heat
Do not leave the soldering iron in contact with the probe tip for more than a
few seconds at a time. Excess heat may damage the probe.
