Probes with a broad bandwidth for making high frequency tests of RF connectors and PCBs.
PE3 Series
For SMA sockets.
The PE3 and PE5 series are coaxial probes designed to make a spring loaded connection to some of the more popular RF plugs and 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.
