Probe Holders Designed for a Variety of Applications

One of the reasons we design and manufacture so many different probe holders is our customers tell us what they need, and we produce the products to fulfill those needs.  You will find our lineup of probe holders is one of the most comprehensive on the market.  Our holders address a broad range of application requirements including: general purpose DC characterization, high speed, wide bandwidth, low current and high power.  Also by producing such a variety of products, our users have the opportunity to choose a holder based on their measurement equipment interface requirements or application demand as well as budget and personal preference. 

The Model 44, one of our single unit holders, offers so many options and configurations it is virtually a custom probe.  Features include a frequency range from DC to 3 GHz; low level signal testing; 50-ohm circuit testing; CV testing; and Kelvin force, and sense and single wire configurations.  This economical probe is appropriate for the most common microwave test and has coaxial shielding that extends from the cable connection through the body of gold plated brass to the tungsten probe point.

Micromanipulator’s high attack angle probe holders, models 75-80, are designed for hot stage probing and are ideal for applications where probing is difficult due to thermal expansion or vibration. While the holders accept any Model 7 point, they are specifically designed to be used with high compliance points such as models 7F, 7F-10, 7F-C10, and 7S.  Please keep in mind that because these probe holders have a high angle of attack, the probe point must be approximately 3/8” below the holder in order to be visible.  This means any compound microscope objectives with a working distance of less than 1/2 inch (12.5 mm) may not be feasible.   

Our probe holders are also available in a variety of versions including coaxial or triaxial, high frequency, active, high/low temperature, high power and low profile.  Please see our Probe Tip and Probe Holder Reference Manual to learn more details and specifications about our full line of exceptions probe tips and holders.
