Tip Selection and Replacement
The PP009 probe is supplied a rigid tip. The spring-loaded tips PK1-5MM-109
(0.8 mm) and PK1-5MM-124 (0.38 mm), which can be ordered from Teledyne
LeCroy as optional accessories, have sharp points and an on-axis
requirement. All tips provide reliable connections under a wide range of
physical interconnect situtations. While lacking the on-axis requirement of
the spring-loaded tip, the rigid tip has a larger diameter and is more robust
when exposed to physical stress at the tip. Select the proper tip for your
application needs.
To replace the spring-loaded tips, carefully grip the outermost portion and pull
straight out along the axis of the probe, using needle nose pliers. Do not grip
the plastic insulator with pliers; this will squeeze the tip, making it difficult or
impossible to remove. Do not grip the outer gold plated tube that the tip slides
into. With the tip removed, align the replacement tip with the hole and begin
the insertion with the pliers. The tip can be fully seated by placing the probe
against a hard surface and gently applying downward pressure.
To remove tips, grip the outermost
portion and pull straight out. Do not apply pliers to the plastic
insulator.
