Probes with a broad bandwidth for making high frequency tests of RF connectors and PCBs.
PE3 Series
For SMA sockets.
The PE3 series are coaxial probes designed to make a spring loaded connection to SMA sockets. This substitutes the need for sacrificial plugs and sockets.

PE6 Series
For PCB test.
The PE6 series is a range of superior performance RF coaxial test probes designed to allow an instrumentation-quality interface for broadband RF measurements up to 4GHz. Accurate small signal and RF power (up to 50w) measurements make them ideal for cellular telephone testing applications.
