The flex circuit based solder tips
are made with flex circuit material
and can be bent and shaped to fit
around or into spaces where it is
difficult to reach a test point.
The minimum bend radius for the
flex tips is 1.0 in (25.4 mm) 0.25
in (6.35 mm). There is no impact
on the performance of the tip
when it is bent into a curved
shape that conforms to bend
radius limits.
Typical life for tips are 30 - 50
bending cycles before
replacement is needed.
P77STCABL Solder-in Tip
The P77STCABL solder-in tips
have similar input via
connections for thin (38 AWG)
wire. The steps to follow when
soldering this tip to the circuit are
identical to the flex circuit based
solder tips and are shown in the
soldering procedure section
below. These tips are longer than
the flex circuit based solder tips
and are more flexible.
These tips support TriMode
operation. To use TriMode, a
minimum of three connections
are needed, the A and B side
inputs and one of the ground
connections.
P77C292MM, 2.92 mm Adapter
Use this adapter to connect a
P7700 TDP7700 series probe to a
DUT with 50 Ω test point
connectors. Also use the adapter
to connect to SMA connections.
After connecting the adapter to
the flex cable, use the retainer to
provide a secure connection to
the flex cable to minimize
movement or to attach the
adapter to the hand’s free tripod.
An accessory kit is available with
linkage adapters for stacking the
adapters.
