Tektronix P5100

Probe, High Voltage; 250 MHz, 100X, 2.5 kV

The P5100 is a low-input capacitance High-voltage Probe (2.5 kV) designed for higher frequency applications. The probe can be compensated to match plug-ins and oscilloscopes with nominal input capacitances of 7-30 pF. A variety of scre w-on accessories provide easy connection to the device under test. The P5100 is a 100X, 2500 V (DC + peak AC), 1000 V CAT III oscilloscope probe that provides 250 MHz performance and is certified to international safety standards. The P5100 probe is compatible with all general purpose oscilloscopes and with Tektronix oscilloscopes that automatically detect 100X probe attenuation and display the correct scale readout. The P5100 probe is designed for ground-referenced measurements only.

Features and Standard Accessories

Probe Body - The P5100 probe body is designed for personal safety, ergonomic comfort, and signal fidelity.

The probe body ground ring connection allows a short ground connection for optimal signal fidelity.

The probe tip is a 6--32 threaded post that accepts both standard and optional accessories.

Keep the probe body and accessories clean and dry to reduce the risk of shock due to surface conduction. Refer to page 19 for cleaning instructions.

Compensation Box - The P5100 compensation box contains low and high-frequency compensation adjustments as well as a gain adjustment.

The P5100 is compatible with Tektronix oscilloscopes that automatically detect and display the 100X attenuation factor of the probe.

(If you have an older instrument with a lit vernier indicator, the 10X position will light. Multiply the reading by a factor of 10 to get the true value.)
