to make probing and measurement a simpler task. Please familiarize

Probe head assembly. The probe head is
designed for ease of use and high performance.
Its small size makes it easy to handle in tight
areas.
The probe tip socket is sized to easily press onto
0.025 inch pins for direct access. The ground
socket provides a short ground path for high
fidelity ground connections.
The stabilization notch permits you to use
adjacent pins to reduce stresses on the probe
and pins.
TEKPROBE Interface. The TEKPROBE
interface provides a communication path between
the probe and the oscilloscope. Contact pins
provide power, signal, offset, and probe
characteristic data transfer. See page 37 for more
information.
If your oscilloscope does not support the
TEKPROBE interface, you can use the optional
1103 probe power supply as an effective
interface. Contact your local Tektronix representa-
tive for more information.
Push-in probe tip
Push-in probe tip. Use the push-in probe tip
for general purpose probing by hand. The tip may
also be used as a temporary test point. See
page 25 for more information.
The push-in probe tip may also be used with the
other socketed leads and adapters.
