P6008
There were two different versions, or generations, of the Tektronix P6008 ×10 passive voltage probe. Both were rated for use in temperatures up to 75 C (for the probe and cable.)
The early (1963) P6008 Probe (010-0130-00) was primarily designed for use with the Type 82 and Type 86 plug-ins in a 580-series scope, with 15 pF inputs.
It came with a 3.5 foot cable.
Key Specifications
Attenuation | 10 × ±3% with 1 MΩ ±2% scope input |
---|---|
Compensation range | 15 pF (may be compensated to 20 pF with some loss of bandwidth) |
Bandwidth | 66 MHz w/Type 82 or 86 Plugin (63 MHz with x10 GAIN) |
Input capacitance | ~7 pF |
The later (1971) P6008 ENVIRONMENTAL PROBE (010-0130-01) could be compensated to a wider range of scope input capacitances, has wider bandwidth, but higher input capacitance. It came with a 6 foot cable.
Key Specifications
Attenuation | 10 × ±3% with scope input at 1 MΩ ±2% |
---|---|
Compensation range | 15 pF to 55 pF |
Bandwidth | 100 MHz w/15 pF scope inputs |
Input capacitance | 10-14 pF, depending on scope input capacitance |
