Tektronix P6137 10X Passive Scope Probe

The Tektronix P6137 is a 10X passive oscilloscope probe designed for precise signal acquisition across general-purpose measurement applications. Offering 400 MHz bandwidth and 9.5 pF input capacitance, it minimizes signal loading on the device under test while delivering accurate waveform reproduction. The probe’s 10X attenuation increases oscilloscope dynamic range and protects input circuitry. Its spring-loaded gold-plated tip and integrated ground clip enable secure connections to surface-mount components and test points, while the BNC connector provides standard compatibility with 1 MΩ input impedance oscilloscopes. Built for engineering, laboratory, and field service environments where measurement fidelity is critical.
