Agilent/ HP 1173A Low Mass Passive Probe, 20:1, 10 MOhm, 1.2 m

The Agilent 1173A’s a low-mass passive probe. As components and ICs are continuing to shrink when it comes to size, probing has been becoming more and more difficult. Made for simple connection to surface mount, fine-pitch ICs, components as well as dense circuit boards, the Agilent 1173A low mass passive probe is making the job of connecting and probing less frustrating. With a remarkably small, light probe tip (<1 gram), these passive probes give the same reliability and high performance you have come to expect from Agilent's high-performance passive probes. Add a flexible cable that’s ultra-thin, and the Agilent 1173A probe isn’t only simple to connect, but it stays put on the test point.

You'd think a probe this small would be hard to hold, but the Agilent 1173A plugs into a browser accessory that makes it as easy to hold as a conventional probe. This patented browser concept makes use of a crown point pogo pin that digs into solder and then absorbs small hand movement, so does not slip.

When utilized in conjunction with the Agilent Wedge, the Agilent 1173A is providing a reliable solution that’s hands-free for probing 0.65 mm & 0.5 mm IC packages and also, the probe tip connects to board headers directly.
