The Tektronix P6249 is a 4 GHz active FET probe engineered for high-performance oscilloscope measurements on modern digital systems and communication interfaces. Its small form factor probe head enables direct access to surface-mount devices while maintaining minimal circuit loading through low input capacitance (1 pF) and high input resistance. The 5X attenuation ratio and sub-120 ps rise time support precise signal integrity, jitter, and timing analysis across demanding applications from component characterization to production testing.
