Seriously though, I am a bit concerned about the weight of them hanging off the BNC connectors of the scope and if they get pulled in any way it could end up damaging the scope's front end.
Thanks Walter for coming back to us with 4 isolated channels, very cool. Hope they fulfill your needs.
While I understand your concerns for the front end let me explain and show you a little of its construction.
The 4 BNC's pass through part of the steel chassis of which they are fastened to with nuts and the BNC bases are 4 post varieties that are mounted vertically onto the mainboard.
This makes for a fairly rugged construction where damage is more likely to occur to the BNC shell itself rather than its connection or to the mainboard.
Below in Daves teardown from the rear of the mainboard you can see the the 4 posts and center conductor of each BNC and to the far right is the Pass/Fail BNC that's of the same type and fastens onto the rear metal case.
