Siglent TPA10 Active Probe Adapter, TekProbe Level II, 4 GHz
Siglent TPA10 active probe adapter: run Tektronix TekProbe Level II probes on an SDS5000X, SDS5000X HD or SDS6000A. 4 GHz.
Active probe adapter, TekProbe Level II, 4 GHz
The TPA10 lets a Tektronix TekProbe Level II active probe run on a Siglent oscilloscope. It supplies the probe’s power rails and passes its offset control through, so the probe behaves as it would on its original instrument, up to 4 GHz.
If you already own TekProbe Level II probes, this is what stops them becoming shelf ornaments when the oscilloscope is replaced. Fits the SDS5000X, SDS5000X HD and SDS6000A series.
Before you order
Check the interface level. This adapter is for TekProbe Level II. Level I and TekVPI probes use different interfaces and will not work with it. If you are unsure which your probe uses, send us the model number and we will confirm before you order.
Key specifications
- 4 GHz bandwidth
- Tektronix TekProbe interface Level II
- For SDS5000X, SDS5000X HD and SDS6000A
- Supplies ±15 V at 100 mA and ±5 V at 200 mA
- Offset range −1.2 V to +1.2 V to the probe
- Keeps existing active probes in service after a scope upgrade
Application examples
Keeping existing probes after a scope change
A set of TekProbe Level II active probes represents real money. The adapter is a small fraction of replacing them.
Mixed-brand benches
Labs that run more than one make of oscilloscope and want one probe set to serve both.
Specialist probes with no Siglent equivalent
Where the probe you need exists in the TekProbe ecosystem and nowhere else.
