Keysight N2785A Probe Positioner

Overview

The Keysight N2785A is a dual-arm probe positioner designed for hands-free X-Y positioning of oscilloscope probes on printed circuit boards and test devices. The two articulated arms with hi-mass base provide quick and stable positioning with only a lift-and-drop motion, allowing simultaneous probing of multiple test points without manual adjustment. A weight stabilization technique maintains constant pressure at the probing points, ensuring the probe tips stay in position even when the target board is moved or vibrated.

Compatible with most Keysight scope probes, including InfiniiMax single-ended and differential browser probes, as well as probes from other vendors, the N2785A is suitable for debugging, characterization, and test applications where multi-point hands-free probing is required.
