Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
The exterior of the probe and cable should be cleaned, using a soft cloth moistened with water. The
use of abrasive agents, strong detergents, or other solvents may damage the exterior of the probe.
The probe case is not sealed and should never be immersed in any fluid.
Replacing Damping Resistors on the Solder-in Interconnect Lead
The external damping resistors locate the tip resistance
as close to the device under test as possible, which
minimizes tip inductance and capacitance and provides
very favorable loading characteristics.
However, these resistors are subject to mechanical stress
and may periodically need to be replaced even if proper
stress-relief precautions are taken. Replacement
damping resistors are included with the probe, and
replacement of these resistors is simple. Resistors are
pre-cut to the right lead lengths, so all that is required is
removal and attachment of the new resistor.
Follow these steps to correctly remove the damaged
damping resistors and to solder a new resistor to your
tip. It is assumed that the person performing the resistor
replacement is familiar with fine pitch soldering techniques.
