Circuit Board XYZ Spring Probe Set

PN0295 is used to make electrical contact with circuit board traces, vias, and component leads.  A three-axis micro-positioner coupled with six adjustable joints allow the interchangeable spring probe to contact probe points in any orientation.  Ball and needle bearing washers enable precise control of joint compression so that joint stiffness can be fine-tuned for easy positioning and probing.

Applications

  • Probe circuit board traces, vias, and component leads

  • Probe semiconductor package leads

  • Probe small circuit board components leads, pads, vias

Probing Instructions

  1. Center the X, Y, and Z micro-positioner thumbscrews.

  2. Adjust the tightness of each joint to permit joint adjustment but also rigid enough to compress the spring probe tip.

  3. Position the spring probe tip on or close to the contact site.

  4. Use the X, Y, and Z thumbscrews to compress the spring probe tip on the contact site.
