The E5394A soft-touch connectorless touch probes offer very low electrical loading for the company's logic analyzers. They require no adapter and reduce capacitive loading by 80% compared with other connectorless solutions. Each probe's footprint is 70% smaller than other connectorless probes. The probes don't require cleaning or special surface finishes of the pod pads for reliable connections. The E5394A soft-touch probe is a 34-channel, single-ended unit that's compatible with all of the company's logic analyzers that use a 40-pin connector interface. Priced at $2000, the probe is available from stock.
