The Keysight N2143A is an accessory kit engineered to extend the capability of the N2142A Passive Probe for high-speed digital signal integrity testing and measurement validation. This kit supplies the essential components required for reliable signal access and probe operation across demanding test environments.
Technical Specifications
The N2143A is purpose-designed as an accessory complement to the Keysight N2142A Passive Probe. It contains five functional components: a retractable hook probe tip, an adjustment tool for mechanical configuration, a protective cap for storage and transport, color-coded identification tags (two green and two yellow), and an alligator clip for ground or reference connections.
– Key Features
• Retractable Hook Design — Enables safe and convenient access to test points while protecting both probe and circuit under test
• Adjustment Tool — Facilitates mechanical optimization and configuration of probe parameters
• Color-Coded Identification — Green and yellow tags support circuit identification and measurement channel documentation in multi-point test setups
• Alligator Clip — Provides stable ground or reference connections without requiring PCB access or SMT probe fixtures
• Protective Cap — Preserves probe tip condition and prevents accidental contact damage during storage and transport
• Signal Integrity Focus — Component selection and design prioritize accurate measurements and elimination of signal degradation during probing operations
– Typical Applications
The N2143A supports diagnostic troubleshooting, signal validation, and precision measurement tasks on digital circuits. The accessory set is particularly suited for lab environments where multiple test points require sequential or simultaneous probing with clear channel identification and mechanical flexibility.
– Compatibility & Integration
The N2143A is specifically designed for integration with the Keysight N2142A Passive Probe. Users should verify probe attachment points and mechanical fit before field deployment. The kit does not include the probe itself—it functions exclusively as an accessory and enhancement package for existing N2142A probe installations.
