HP/Agilent 1160A

The HP/Agilent 1160A is a miniature passive oscilloscope probe engineered for the Infiniium 54810A, 54815A, 54820A, and 54825A series. This high-impedance probe delivers 500 MHz system bandwidth (scope + probe) with a 10:1 attenuation ratio, making it suitable for general-purpose signal measurement and circuit characterization. The probe’s compact form factor and removable handle enable access to densely populated PCBs without compromising measurement fidelity.

– Technical Specifications

– Key Features

• Retractable hook tip with replaceable probe tips for field serviceability
• Modular, rugged construction for laboratory and field use
• Removable handle for detailed probe access in confined spaces
• Snap-on BNC connector with full AutoProbe interface compatibility
• Comprehensive grounding accessory set: alligator lead, spring grounds, socketed ground lead, SMD clips, and browser tip with crown point
• Optional 0.5 mm IC clips available for 0.5–0.8 mm devices

– Typical Applications

General-purpose signal measurement, circuit troubleshooting, and high-frequency analysis on oscilloscopes requiring 1 MΩ input impedance measurement systems.

– Compatibility & Integration

Designed for 1 MΩ input resistance oscilloscopes. The AutoProbe interface automatically configures connected Infiniium oscilloscopes for probe specifications. An Agilent E2697A 1 MΩ adapter is required when using with 50 Ω oscilloscope inputs.
