Test Research and Development
The P6139B and P5050B probes are high bandwidth, high impedance
10X passive voltage probes with 10 Minput resistance. These probes
feature a small probe head and sharp tip that makes it easier to probe dense
circuitry. The P6139B and P5050B share similar electrical specifications
but support Tektronix oscilloscopes with different compensation ranges.
Reference the Oscilloscope Probe & Accessory Selector Tool located at
www.tektronix.com/probes to ensure the correct probe is selected for your
oscilloscope.
The P6139B and P5050B provide:
Outstanding Electrical Performance
Ruggedness
Ease of Use
