The N2768A is a set of 25 vertical mini-probe sockets engineered for direct PCB integration with Keysight Infiniium series oscilloscopes. These sockets establish high-bandwidth connections between compatible passive probe tips and circuits under test, functioning as soldered test points that minimize ground inductance and preserve signal integrity for precision measurements.
Technical Specifications
Connection Type: Vertical Mini Probe Socket
Quantity: 25 sockets per package
Mounting Method: Solder-direct onto printed circuit board
Probe Family Compatibility: N2870A-76A and 1160A-65A family passive probes
Oscilloscope Compatibility: Keysight Infiniium Series Oscilloscopes
– Key Features
• High-bandwidth signal path optimized for hands-free probing of through-hole devices
• Ground inductance minimization through direct board-level mounting
• Signal fidelity preservation in demanding measurement environments
• Standardized socket geometry for repeatable probe interface
– Typical Applications
These sockets serve as permanent or semi-permanent test points on development and production circuit boards. They enable rapid signal acquisition from through-hole components without requiring probe tip manipulation, making them ideal for automated test sequences, high-speed signal characterization, and designs requiring multiple simultaneous measurement points.
– Compatibility & Integration
The N2768A integrates directly with N2870A-76A and 1160A-65A series miniature passive oscilloscope probes. The sockets are designed exclusively for Keysight Infiniium oscilloscope platforms. Board layout planning can reference the “N2768A and N2766A Mini-Probe Sockets Design Guide,” which provides dimensional data for PCB footprint development. Horizontal mounting configurations are available via the related N2766A socket variant.
