D-PROBE

High-Performance Rugged Probes for SI Probing

D-Probe series is designed for signal integrity, and RF testing. Its strong beryllium copper (BeCu) tips make the D-Probe ideal for manufacturing testing of highspeed printed-circuit boards.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • High Bandwidth: DC to 40 GHz
  • Low Insertion Loss: < 3 dB @ 40 GHz for probe pitch < 0.5 mm
  • Ruggedness: Strong enough for direct probing test pads on uneven surfaces
  • High Repeatability: No moving parts
  • Applications: Measurements for Delta-L + PCB, DDR memory, PCIe, HDMI, Display Port, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet boards
