HFP Series Active Probes
Engineers often find the need
to probe a variety of different
devices and test points in
their designs. In order to do
this, today’s probes need to
be versatile, small, and
lightweight while maintaining
the necessary bandwidth to
capture high-speed signals. As
probing points get smaller and
closer together, LeCroy’s HFP
Series of active probes provide
the ability to meet all of your
difficult probing challenges.
Unique Probe Tips
Since different situations call for probing at different points, the HFP Series includes 5 different types of probe tips. The Straight Tip is ideal for general purpose browsing, and the Sharp Tip or Bent Sharp Tip can be used for easy access to tightly spaced test points or circuit vias. Use the Discrete SMD Tip for probing on surface mount capacitors, resistors, or other components. The IC Lead Tip enables probing on small geometry IC legs and is insulated to prevent any shorting between the test points. In addition to these unique probe tips, traditional IC clips and flexible wire leads are also included.
Hands free probing.
Convenient Grounding Accessories
Just as important as getting access to critical test points is the ability to easily ground the probe. It is ideal to keep the ground loop as small as possible to eliminate any ground effects on the signal. The HFP Series includes several grounding accessories to simplify the process. Wedge the flexible IC Ground Blade between two legs of an IC for a solid ground contact without risking a short. Use the Bendable Pogo Ground to probe a test point and ground that are extremely close together, as with a BGA. The Ground Spring can be used to easily connect to a square pin that is next to the test point.
Easy-To-Use
In many cases it is important to have up to 4 probes connected to tightly packed test points in your circuit. For this, take advantage of the unique FreeHand probe holder, which allows you to set up all the probes once, and keeps your hands free to make measurements on the oscilloscope. Easily identify which probe is for which channel by looking at the patented AutoColor ID feature. All probes light up with an LED color matched to the channel it is being used on.

Unique Probing Accessories
Use the Discrete SMD Tip for a tight fit on surface mount capacitors, resistors, or other components.
Use the insulated IC Lead Tip with IC Ground Blade to probe small-geometry IC legs without shorting any test points.
Use the Bendable Pogo Ground with the Straight or Sharp Tip to probe signal and ground points that are extremely close together.
Use the Discrete SMD Tip with the Ground Spring to probe square pins.
Use the Solder-In Ground lead with any probe tip to make a good ground connection and browse with the HFP.
Use the Bent Sharp Tip to probe a test point in a tight space or where the probe cannot be oriented perpendicular to the circuit.
