The '''Tektronix 455''' is a 50 MHz dual-trace solid-state portable oscilloscope. 
It is functionally similar to the [[453]] and can be seen as its successor.
 
The 455 makes extensive use of integrated circuits and is smaller and lighter than the 453.

===Options===
* Option 4: Modifies the 455 to meet EMC requirements of MIL-STD-461A
* Option 5: Adds a TV sync separator to the B2 module
* Option 7: Permits the 455 to be powered from a 12 or 24 V<sub>DC</sub> source (making it compatible to the [[1106]] battery pack)

==Internals ==
The final stage of the 455 vertical amplifier employs a differential pair of triple-stacked NPN transistors.
The purpose of the stacking is to get higher voltage swing and to eliminate the need for a heat sink.
 
The 455 uses a linear power supply.
 
Triggering is done with [[155-0121-00]] chips, one per channel.
