P6106
(Redirected from P6106A)
The Tektronix P6106 is a passive 250 MHz, 10×, miniature modular probe for 1 MΩ scope inputs and has a readout encoding pin and an identify switch. It was available with 1, 2 or 3 meters of probe cable. It replaced the P6075.
Color coding on probe head and the BNC end sockets indicates how long the cable is. Blue means 1 meter, Yellow means 2 meters, and Red means 3 meters. The P6106 was supplied as standard with the 475 (from serial B011145 and up) and 475A.
Key Specifications
| Attenuation | 10× ±3% with scope input at 1 MΩ ±2% |
|---|---|
| Compensation range | 15 pF to 24 pF |
| Bandwidth | >250 MHz (>150 MHz for 3 meter cable). Using the 1 meter probe with a scope having at least 325 MHz bandwidth results in a system bandwidth of 300 MHz typ. |
| Input capacitance | 10.5 pF (1 m), 13.0 pF (2 m), 15.5 pF (3 m) |
| Maximum input voltage | 500 V (DC + peak AC) with derating |
The A-version has slightly different specifications.
