Tektronix TPH1000 Probe Holder
TPH1000 Probe Holder
The TPH1000 probe holder is a probe accessory that allows you to probe
circuits and test points hands-free, without using hook clips or tape to keep
the probe in contact with your circuit.
The weight of the probe holder keeps the probe in contact with your circuit, and the non-skid base keeps the probe holder in place. The probe holder is insulated to prevent short-circuits, and the two probe grip areas accept a wide variety of probes.
Features
- Works with many Tektronix active and passive probes.
- Use with single-ended, differential, and high-voltage probes.
- Integral locking socket holds other probe in place.
Probe Grips
Two probe grips are molded into the probe, 14 mm (0.55 in) and 9 mm (0.35 in)
in diameter. Use the smaller grip with Tektronix passive probes, for example,
the P6139B and P5050B.
Use the larger grip with Tektronix high voltage probes like the P5100A and
P5122.
To use the holder, insert the cable in the grip opening and then slide the probe into the grip.
CAUTION: Do not pull the probe by the cable; you may damage the probe. Always insert and remove probes by gripping the handheld section of the probe.
Position the base of the probe holder on your circuit where it can maintain stability while contacting the test point.
CAUTION: If you are probing circuitry with dense contacts such as IC pins, Tektronix recommends that you use insulated probe tip accessories designed to prevent short-circuiting adjacent IC pins or circuitry.
CAUTION: If your probe has exposed ground contacts near the probe tip, be careful to avoid short-circuiting the probe to adjacent circuitry.
You can also position the probe on the other side of the holder as shown below.

Safety Information
Connect and Disconnect Properly. Connect the probe output to the measurement instrument before connecting the probe to the circuit under test. Disconnect the probe input and the probe reference lead from the circuit under test before disconnecting the probe from the measurement instrument.
Avoid Electric Shock. To avoid injury or loss of life, do not connect or disconnect probes or test leads while they are connected to a voltage source.
