Cm Resistive Signal Leads And Solderable Smt Or Solderable Through-Hole Ground Pin - Agilent Technologies 1156A User Manual

5 cm Resistive Signal Leads and Solderable SMT or
Solderable Through-hole Ground Pin
These configurations are used to attach the probe to a round or a square pin of
a header or to solder to the legs of a device under test. This configuration
produces a probing bandwidth of 1.4 GHz or rise time of 250 ps.

Any combination of 5 cm signal leads and ground pins can be used. Also, if you
need to bend the signal pin where it enters the probe you can do this one time
without breaking the pin. Be sure to remove the pin from the probe before you
bend it.
When using this configuration, always make the ground connection as short as
possible. Length in the ground connection makes the response of the probe
dependent on the position of the probe, the position of the probe cable and many
other variables, hence it makes the response of the probe unrepeatable. Also,
keep the signal wire away from AC ground, other components, or your fingers.
The damping resistor is optimized assuming that the signal wire is far from AC
ground. The properly damped 5 cm wire with a very short ground connection
produces a high quality, repeatable 1.4 GHz probe.
