Model 79 Probe Holder is One of Our Most Popular

Micromanipulator is proud of our line of high-quality consumables and accessories that are designed as a part of our systems approach to integration with our probe stations.  One example is our excellent selection of probe tips and probe holders that allow users to choose accessories that meet their measurement equipment interface requirements, application demands and personal preferences as well as budget.  We design, test and manufacture probe holders for a range of applications from general purpose DC characterization, high speed, and wide bandwidth to low current and high power. 

For example, Micromanipulator’s high attack angle holders are designed for hot stage probing and other applications where thermal expansion or vibration can make probing difficult.  Both our standard temperature and high temperature application probe holders offer systems users a choice of styles.    

Among our lineup includes one of our most popular probe holders, the Model 79.  It offers users the option of a standard attack angle or on-axis probe clamps that allow the probe tip to exit straight from the probe holder’s end.  Featuring a set screw closure, it is perfect for very low profile probing.  System users can bend the tip to the correct angle by hand or use one of our pre-bent probe tips, available in 45 or 60 degree attack angles.  This on-axis configuration is available for all Model 79 probe holders. 

The Model 79 Coaxial version is designed for applications including high frequency, low level signal testing, CV testing, and Kelvin force as well as sense and single wire configurations.  Our Model 79 also comes in a Triaxial model that is ideal for applications optimized for low current, fA level measurements, and Kelvin force along with sense and single wire configurations.
