Rugged differential 18 GHz probe (SS-configuration)
TD-Probe series is designed for signal integrity testing. Its strong beryllium copper (BeCu) tips are perfect for direct probing of test pads on uneven surfaces, such as solder balls. With only two signal pins, D-Probes can perform accurate measurements without the need of nearby ground pads.
The user experience of D-Probe is similar to that of the microprobe. Precision Positioner TP300 allows an engineer to switch between the D-Probe (with TP300-PA Probe Adapter) and microprobe easily.
