P6434 Probe Instructions 5

You can use the Low-Profile Extender to connect the P6434 probe to systems

with as little as a half inch of clearance between circuit boards. The extender

connects to Mictor connectors with or without a latch housing.

To connect the probe using the extender, follow these steps:

1. Line up the pin 1 indicator on the low-profile end of the extender with pin 1

on the connector in your SUT. The Mictor connector is keyed to prevent

incorrect connections.

2. Position the low-profile end perpendicular to the connector and gently

connect the extender as shown in Figure 4.

3. To connect the P6434 probe to the other end of the extender, follow the

Direct Connection procedure on page 3.
