Measuring only 5mm in diameter and 65mm in length, the micro-sized, slim-style design enables access to miniaturized and multiple test points that are much more difficult to reach with standard size probes. These probes are particularly well suited for measurements on fine pitch IC leads. The small outline probe is easy to hold and the slim-line design helps guide the tip into dense circuitry without obstructing visual contact within the test point area.

The probe design also incorporates a replaceable, spring-loaded pogo-pin tip that makes it easy to probe fine pitch IC chip leads and fine traces on PC boards. The spring-loaded plunger allows the probe to "float" while maintaining a constant level of pressure on the tip, assuring steady, reliable contact. The "pogo-pin" feature also prevents the tip from slipping and damaging other components or circuit board traces, and is easily replaced when necessary.

The new Microline Probe is a 500 MHz X 10 passive voltage probe with input resistance of 10M, and is rated for use in CAT II, 300V and CAT I, 500V environments. The probe set includes the probe handle and a 1.2-meter length cable with BNC plug. The accessory kit includes: pogo-pin spring loaded tip and rigid tip (one each), IC tip adapter, 25mm ground adapter, 110mm ground lead with alligator clip, tip cover, BNC adapter, sprung hook, trimmer adjustment tool, color-coded rings, and a complete set of instructions and specifications
