During our first 40 years, Tektronix introduced many innovative oscilloscopes that established the standards for form and function that are still followed today. Technological gains have allowed performance improvements over time, but the basic look and feel established by Tektronix remains. Because of this, Tektronix scopes 10 and even 20 years old are still being used. We call these the Classics. Some of these older instruments have special probe requirements. The passive voltage probes found on these pages are for oscilloscopes introduced prior to 1986.

Tektronix modular probes are designed to save you money in repair and maintenance over the life of the probe. The three modules, probe head, cable and connector quickly snap or screw together, eliminating the need for soldering. Spare modules can be ordered and stocked, reducing downtime and eliminating the need to send a probe in for repairs. Modularity, rugged construction and highly reliable hybrid circuitry make these Tektronix probes a cost-effective probing solution.

Tektronix modular passive probes are used to acquire high fidelity signals from low source impedance circuits. Each probe will automatically scale the readings on oscilloscopes equipped with the readout feature. In addition, these same probes provide a ground reference button on the probe head for quick trace identification.
