HP / Agilent 54006A 6 GHz Passive Divider Probe Kit

The HP/Agilent 54006A is a 6 GHz passive divider probe kit for high-frequency signal analysis on 50-ohm oscilloscopes. It delivers minimal circuit loading through low input capacitance and sophisticated ground design, making it ideal for probing high-speed logic and low-impedance circuits without significant signal disturbance. The kit includes two interchangeable probe body assemblies—one for 10:1 and one for 20:1 division ratios—enabling flexible measurement configurations. Its compact probe design provides access to densely packed components while maintaining signal integrity up to 6 GHz.
