Description

Probing Fine Pitch Devices
Probing today's designs, with their delicate fine pitch devices, is safer and more convenient with Tektronix PPM articulating arms. The PPM series allows designers to guide standard handheld probes onto the small geometries of fine-pitch interconnects, SMD packages, MCMs (multi-chip-modules), hybrids and ICs.
The PPM articulating arms provide high accuracy and resolution by mechanically assisted probe positioning, helping designers meet the physical demands of probing the constantly shrinking geometry of devices.
PPM203B
The PPM203B has a three axis arm system. It is a general-purpose benchtop probing aid designed to be used when probing PC boards, hybrids and MCMs that employ fine-pitch devices and interconnects.
The PPM203B incorporates a weighted base that makes it well-suited to probing fine pitches in benchtop applications.
