TA279

The PICOCONNECT 914 from Pico Technology is a PicoConnect 900 series, DC coupled, 4GHz, RF, microwave and pulse passive probe. This low invasive, high frequency passive probe is designed for microwave applications which deliver unprecedented performance and flexibility at a low price. It has pollution degree 2 approval, high crest factor pulse capability, class leading uncorrected pulse/eye response and pulse/eye disturbance. The probe employs a unique in PCB construction to realize extremely low capacitance, coplanar microwave integrity and robust reliability. It features slim, fingertip design for accurate and steady probing or solder-in at fine scale. This probe can be used with any oscilloscope that supports standard 50 ohm probes including 12GHz PicoScope 9200 series, 20GHz PicoScope 9300 series and PicoScope 6000 series real time oscilloscopes. It has EN61010-031:2002+A1 2008 safety requirements for hand held probe assemblies, electrical measurement and test.
