The Tektronix 020-2505-00 is a solder-in accessory kit that enables customized, hands-free probe connections to Tektronix differential probes. The kit supplies solder-in adapters, precision resistors, and wire leads in multiple gauges to facilitate direct circuit integration for high-accuracy differential measurements across the P6330 and P73XX series probe families.
Technical Specifications
• Adapter contacts: Elastomeric sockets rated for 50–75 insertion cycles with probe tip
• Resistor values: 10 Ω and 20 Ω with bonded wire leads
• Wire lead diameters: 0.008 inch and 0.020 inch
• Precut lead length: Approximately 0.110 inches (insertion end)
• Maximum pin diameter: 0.022 inch (hard limit to prevent adapter damage)
• Solder-in adapters: 2 units per kit
– Key Features
• Low-insertion force sockets minimize connection effort and cable stress
• Break-away socket design protects probe and circuit board from excessive cable pull forces
• Elastomeric contact technology rated for 50–75 mating cycles before replacement
• Dual wire gauge options (0.008 inch and 0.020 inch) accommodate different via and pad geometries
• Matched resistor–lead assemblies simplify signal integrity optimization
• Quick disconnection from probe head without tool requirement
– Typical Applications
Suitable for differential measurement applications requiring soldered probe connections on custom circuit boards, prototype testing, and applications where probe hands-free operation improves test setup stability. Matched lead lengths support signal fidelity in high-speed or low-level signal environments.
– Compatibility & Integration
• Compatible probes: Tektronix P6330 differential probes and TekConnect® P73XX Series differential probes
• Pin size requirement: Designed for pins up to 0.022 inch diameter; square pin adapters require part number 016-1884-XX
• Installation note: Secure probe assembly to circuit board before soldering to relieve mechanical strain on adapter and solder joints
