FAQS FAQ ID What size pins are the P6410+ P6417+ P6418+ P6810 and P6960 probe leadsets designed for?
These probes are designed for .025" square pins. If the pins are larger, you will need to use the SMG 50. See more probes »57896 Is there a difference in board layout between press-in nut (PIN) and nutbar?
Yes, the PIN layout has a slightly larger hole than if you use the nutbar.3.50 mm (0.138 in) diameter thin PCB with nut bar.3.73 mm (0.147 in) diameter thick PCB with press in nut.52941 What is the pin size supported for P6410+ P6417+ P6418 and P6810 probes?
The pin type is 0.025" inch square. For larger pins a SMG50 will need to be used. The pin spacing supported is .1 inch and 2 mm.56141 Is there an adapter to connect my P6434 probes to my onboard P6960 (D-Max) footprint?
Yes, Nexus makes an adapter (NEX-P6960M) that will allow a P6434 probe to connect to the P6960 (D-Max) connector. Please visit Nexus for details.57531 The signal mapping of my on board Mictor for P6434 is not equal to the mapping required for the support package. How can I re-wire the signals to meet the support package mapping?
Nexus offers a Adapter called the NEX-HDSWIZ for re-wiring Mictor connectors on a target for connection to Tektronix P6434 High Density Probes. It provides the ability to rewire all 38 connectors. Please visit Nexus for details.56011 Is the Soft Touch Pro footprint the same as the D-Max (P6900) footprint?

The P6982 is exactly the same as the P6980 except that it has only one 17-ch probe head so the total number of channels is 17 instead of 34. A customer would order the P6982 if they are only using quarter or half channels for (4x or 2x clocking). In …57741 Why do the input channels on my TLA float to 2.2 volts?
The P6410, P6417, P6418 and P6434 probes have probe loading characteristics of 20kohm to 2.2V*. This is why the signal may be pulled to to 2.2V around the signal transitions. An optional Reduced Bias Voltage lead set (part number 196-3477-00 for 8 …57961 Do you have an application note that explains how and when to use a logic analyzer?
