Nice 'scope probe ground clips
« on: June 25, 2018, 02:07:15 pm »
I used a set of probes at a customer a few months ago that were really nice.  Instead of the junky alligator clips on the ground leads, they had more of a fine point serrated pliers jaw.  It made for a nice low profile and was very secure.  Unfortunately I couldn't find a maker mark on them.  Has anyone seen this before, and more importantly, where can I buy like a dozen of those nice ground leads?  My googling and searching around at Pomona and Probemaster are turning up nothing.

Tektronix had some nice ground clips on the probes for their early TDS oscilloscopes.  These "micrograbber" test clips from Pomona are similar if not identical but are pretty expensive:

The Rohde and Schwarz 500MHz passive probes that come with the RTM3004 have similar fine pitch ground clips. No idea if all probes in their range are the same.

Ah-ha!  There they are, with the high voltage probes (RT-ZH10, etc):

They're the smaller clips, top-right.  Now to find a part number...

Clip looks like Hirschmann / SKS MA 1.

Maybe just exchange the clip from those crappy leads...
