N2849A QuickTips are also compatible with N2851A QuickTip InfiniiMode Probe Heads,
which are designed for 1130/1/2/4A InfiniiMax I and 1168/9A InfiniiMax II probes.
Connecting a QuickTip to the DUT
Use the following tips when soldering the QuickTips to your DUT:

when handling.
Resistor and wire leads on the QuickTip are factory trimmed to the proper length for use. Adding wire

length to the tip of the mini-axial lead resistors or to the ground leads will degrade the performance of
the probe.
Soldering the ground wires is not required when making differential or single-ended (+ or – leads)

Orient the QuickTip vertically as shown in
Solder the four leads to vias or surfaces.
When soldering to a via, always trim the lead close to the via's underside.
If a lead is to be soldered to a surface and not a via, make a stronger solder joint by
bending the end of the lead 90°. For signal leads, bend the wire approximately half way
between the resistor and the end of the wire. Bend the ground leads at about the same
distance.
