Safety information
To avoid personal injury and to prevent fire or damage to this product or products connected to it,
review and comply with the following safety precautions. Be aware that if you use this probe
assembly in a manner not specified the protection this product provides may be impaired.
Only qualified personnel should use this probe assembly.
Use only grounded instruments.
Do not connect the probe ground lead to a potential other than earth ground. Always make sure the
probe and the measurement instrument are grounded properly.
Connect and disconnect properly.
Connect the probe output to the measurement instrument and connect the ground lead to earth
ground before connecting the probe to the circuit under test. Disconnect the probe input and the
probe ground lead from the circuit under test before disconnecting the probe from the measurement
instrument.
Observe probe ratings.
Do not apply any electrical potential to the probe input which exceeds the maximum ratings of the
probe. Be sure to comply with the voltage versus frequency derating curve on page 6. Under no
circumstances must be the probe be used on mains or line voltages.
Do not use a suspected failed probe.
Refer to qualified service personnel.
Indoor use only.
Do not operate in wet or damp environments. Keep product surfaces dry and clean.
Do not operate the product in an explosive atmosphere.

About the TA062 probe
The TA061 probe sets new standards in high performance probing. The compact design with only
2.5 mm housing diameter at the probe tip is ideal for measurements of SMT components. It provides
a much better visibility over of the device under test than conventional 5 mm probe housing designs.
The exchangeable probe tip, a special Pico Technology feature, is also available for the TA062 probe.
The gold-plated spring contact and the rigid tip are only 0.5 mm in diameter. Replacement of the tip is
easy and convenient for the engineer.
Particularly for HF measurements on IC's, a short as possible ground connection is recommended.
Due to long ground leads, most conventional adaptors bring additional inductance and resonances into
the measurement which will result in false or inaccurate readings. The innovative IC contact system of
the TA062 probe, with 5 different IC adapters from 0.5 to 1.27 mm pitch in combination with the ground
blade and IC ground copper pad, is the ideal solution for short-circuit-safe, reproducible and accurate
measurements.
With these great advantages and over 30 accessories, the new TA062 probe offers various
configurations to solve most connection problems.

IC ground copper pad.
