The Tektronix P6015 is a 1000× high-voltage probe usable up to 20 kV (40 kV peak pulse).
It can be operated with or without dielectric filling but without this filling, the maximum voltage is reduced to 13 kV (18 kV peak), similar to the P6013 predecessor model.
The original filling material, Freon-114 aka Fluorocarbon 114 (R-114, CFC-114), is no longer available due to its ozone-depleting properties.
The CFC-free P6015A successor, introduced in 1991, uses a silicone based replacement. It is still available new as of 2023.
All versions have a compensating circuit at the scope end of the cable with multiple adjustable RC constants. The original P6015 was available with PL-259 or BNC plugs on the scope side. The P6015A comes with a BNC plug, in versions with and without a readout pin.
