The Tektronix P5205A is a 100 MHz high-voltage active differential probe designed for safe measurements on high-voltage circuits. It converts high-voltage differential floating signals to low-voltage signals referenced to ground, suitable for display on any oscilloscope. Featuring the TekProbe BNC interface, it seamlessly integrates with compatible Tektronix oscilloscopes to automatically scale measurements.
