Description
|Z| ProbeWedge Overview
With a high degree of application flexibility, HF ProbeWedges™, use both RF contacts and DC needles. The variety of available configurations of the HF ProbeWedge ensures that your application requirements are met every time.
Mounted on a PCB board, the renowned |Z| Probe® can be combined with up to four DC probes on each side, or the Dual |Z| Probe can be used with a maximum of two DC probes on each side. A pure DC version is available as the DC ProbeWedge and can have up to 20 contacts, although more are available upon request. The DC blades are available as metal, ceramic or micro strip for Kelvin applications. Additionally, diagonal wedges are available to enable easy positioning. We can also customize the design of the PCB board on the ProbeWedge to integrate any required elements.
A unique plug and play concept for the DC cables and connectors no longer requires any soldering of the cables to the ProbeWedge. They are simply plugged into the carrier and held firmly in place. This saves you time and costs since all cables can be reused.
