Updated Passive Probe
The PP007 embodies leading technology
in passive probe design. The small probe is
optimized for maximum waveform fidelity,
including high frequency signal components,
in a rugged probe suitable for every day.
The sharp probe tip* is spring loaded,
allowing it to retract into the narrow probe
head. The tip does not slip off the object
being probed—important when probing
small geometry surface-mounted compo-
nents.Probing dense circuits is easier with
the small 2.5 mm ground sleeve, which
provides much better visibility than 5 mm
and 3.5 mm probes.
Optimized for HF Applications
The input capacitance of the probe is
very low for a passive probe—to minimize
loading of high frequency signals. However,
keeping any resonance beyond the passband
also requires low inductance in the intercon-
nections. Probes with limited interconnection
accessories often force the user to extend
the input or ground lead lengths to connect
to the circuit—a practice that adds inductance
and lowers the resonate frequency.
Accessories such as the ground spring
and innovative ground blade (PK007-013)
provide a very low inductance ground
interconnect. Copper foil tape, (PK007-014)
included with the probe, can be placed on
top of an IC and connected to its ground
pins to create a convenient ground plane
* A rigid tip is included

for the probe to connect to. Used with the
ground blade, this method provides an
ideal ground connection for probing signals
with high frequency content.
For applications which require the flexibility
of a longer ground lead without compromising
high frequency performance, the optional
HF-compensated ground lead (PK007-030)
provides a solution. A passive network in
the lead itself reduces the loading effect of
any resonance.
Ease in Probing SMT Circuits
In addition to the small probe head size, the
PP007 is augmented with several accessories
to simplify probing dense surface mounted
circuit assemblies. Insulating probe caps with
guide fingers (PK007-009, 010, 011, 012) keep
the small probe tip centered on the IC lead
and prevent it from shorting to adjacent
leads. The IC Caps are supplied in a range
of sizes designed for IC lead pitches from
0.5 mm through 1.27 mm.
Optional accessory kits contain 0.5 mm micro
clips for attaching to the smallest IC leads,
along with adapter leads to connect to the
probe tip.
Rugged Probe for Everyday Use
Unlike some probes, the PP007 does not
trade off physical robustness to obtain
excellent high frequency performance.
The probe will stand up to the rigors of
everyday use.
The probe has a working voltage rating of
400VCAT I with transient surges up to 1250 V.
EN61010-31-2 Installation category I (CAT I) is
for probing circuits which are isolated from
the power mains through a power supply
transformer—the most common circuits
measured with oscilloscopes. The probe
also is rated fora CAT II working voltage
of 300 V. CAT II circuits are on the primary
side of power converters and similar
power line connected circuits which are
not intended to be permanently connected
to building wiring.
The probe tip is mounted in a socket, allowing
user replacement should it ever break.
Ordering the Correct Model
The PP007 is supplied in two models, each
optimized to give the best performance
with a specific family of oscilloscope. The
PP007-WR is designed to be used with the
WaveRunner 6000 series, while the PP007-WS
is designed for the WaveSurfer 400 series
oscilloscopes. The physical design of the
probes are identical. All of the connection
accessories, standard and optional, will fit
both models.
