Data Sheet

P6137.

This family of oscilloscope probes sets the standard for high performance
passive voltage probes. Continued growth of the family pace s the
new series of Tektronix high-performance benchtop oscilloscopes, the

TDS400/500/600/700/3000B/5000/7000B Series high-performance portable
oscilloscopes.

These probes feature m odular construction, HYBRID/SMT circuitry, a
smaller probe head/cable assembly than traditional passive probes,
10X attenuatio

n readout enco ding, and a full complement of attachment
accessories. S maller probe tips and lightweight cable assemblies allow
easy negotiation of dense circuitry or tight spaces.

The compact probe head/tip assembly is compatible with the full line of
compact accessories. When the Su bminiature/Compact-to-Miniatu re probe
tip adapter (013-0202-03) is installed over the probe head/tip, the P5050,
P6138A, and P6139A probes are fully compatible with all miniature tip
accessories.

The NEW P5050 probe is designed to provide 500 MHz bandwidth
at the probe tip for the TDS5000 Series oscilloscopes. The P6139A
probe has bee

n designed to meet the signal path requirements of the
TDS500/600/700/3000B/7000B Series of oscilloscopes. Similarly, the
P6138A’s design meets the TDS400 Series signal path requirements,
helping to ensure the highest accuracy ever in a general-purpose
oscilloscope.
