Wedge Probe Adaptor

The HP Wedge Probe Adapter from Hewlett Packard eases the task of connecting probes to fine-pinch integrated circuits (IC). The adapter is designed to facilitate nondestructive connections of probes to thin quad flatpack (TQFP) and plastic quad flatpack (PQFP) ICs.

The compressible conductors hold the probe in place, allowing engineers to use their hands. Each conductor makes physical contact with one side of the pin. This increases the reliability of the electrical connection, with little chance of shorting adjacent pins or damaging the device under test.

Logic probes from BP 54645D mixed-signal scopes, logic analyzers and LogicDart advanced logic probes, as well as the scope probes from the HP Infinium family of oscilloscopes, connect directly to the 1HP Wedge Probe Adapter.
