Keysight's InfiniiVision Oscilloscope Probes and Accessories form a complete family of probes and accessories designed to deliver optimal performance with InfiniiVision Series oscilloscopes. The lineup spans passive probes, InfiniiMax and InfiniiMode active probes, high-voltage passive and differential probes, single-ended active probes, clamp-on and Rogowski coil current probes, high-sensitivity current probes, and mixed-signal logic probes, supporting the 1000 X-, 2000 X-, 3000A/T X-, 4000 X-, 6000 X-, 5000, 6000, and 7000 Series.

Across the family, these probes target a broad range of measurement tasks: high-speed digital design and debug, high-voltage power measurements on wide-bandgap power devices, power converters and motor drives, switching power supply and DC-DC converter characterization, class D amplifier testing, automotive and vehicle bus measurements including CAN, CAN FD, and FlexRay, environmental-chamber testing at extreme temperatures, and high-sensitivity current measurements to characterize the current consumption of battery-powered devices and integrated circuits. A dedicated selection set also covers low- and mid-speed bus measurements such as LIN, I2C/SMBus, RS232/UART, RS422/485, SPI, USB 2.0, and MIL-Std 1553.

The miniature passive probes, with a compact 2.5 mm probe head and various fine-pitch tip accessories, are designed for probing densely populated IC components or surface-mount devices used in high-speed digital applications.

ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000-square-foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Because we maintain our own inventory on site, every used unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer. That combination lets engineers source the right InfiniiVision probe or accessory with confidence in both availability and condition.

## Brand Heritage

Keysight Technologies traces its origins to the test and measurement business of Hewlett-Packard, which was spun off as Agilent Technologies in 1999. In 2014, Agilent's electronic measurement business was established as the independent company Keysight Technologies.

## Compare Other Models in This Series

The InfiniiVision probe and accessory family is organized by probe type rather than by a single performance tier: passive probes, InfiniiMax and InfiniiMode active probes, high-voltage passive and differential probes, single-ended active probes, current probes, and mixed-signal logic probes. Each type is matched to specific oscilloscope series and measurement needs across the 1000 X- through 7000 Series.

Within each type the lineup includes multiple models that differ chiefly in bandwidth, attenuation ratio, and maximum input voltage, along with whether they use a standard 1 MΩ BNC connection or the Keysight AutoProbe interface for automatic configuration and probe power.

Each pre-owned model linked below is its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing. Select the specific probe or accessory model that fits your oscilloscope series and measurement requirements to see its current pre-owned availability and price.

The clearest differences across the family are bandwidth and voltage handling. Passive probes range from 20 MHz to 700 MHz, single-ended and differential active probes extend from the tens of MHz into the GHz range, and the InfiniiMax active system reaches 7 GHz, while high-voltage probes trade bandwidth for input range up to 3.7 kV (passive) and 7 kV mains isolated (differential).

Current probes form their own sub-family, differentiated by sensing method and range: clamp-on hybrid probes, clip-around Rogowski coils for currents up to 3,000 A peak, and high-sensitivity probes resolving down to 50 µA. The comparison table that follows lays out the per-model bandwidth, attenuation, and input-voltage figures so you can match a probe to your application.

> **Important:** The 1000 X- and 2000 X-Series do not support AutoProbe interface active probes.

> **Important:** The 01650-61607 logic probe cable is no longer available for purchase. Without the 01650-61607, 40-pin to 40-pin cable, 40-pin Mictor, Samtec or Soft Touch probes you may already own cannot be used with InfiniiVision MSOs.

> **Important:** MSO/DSO6000A 100-MHz models do not support any Keysight active probes with AutoProbe interface.

> **Important:** DP0001A is not compatible with the 3000A X-Series oscilloscope.

> **Important:** The N2780B Series current probes (N2780B/81B/82B/83B/83L) require the companion power supply (model N2779A), which is not part of the probe; with the N2779A they can be used with any oscilloscope having a high-impedance BNC input.

> **Important:** The InfiniiMax 1130B Series probe amplifiers (1130B/1131B/1132B/1134B) are ordered separately from their probe heads — order one or more probe heads or connectivity kits per amplifier for the probe to be usable.

> Recommended pairing: the N2780B, N2781B, N2782B, N2783B, and N2783L current probes use the N2779A power supply, which can power up to three of these probes from a single unit.

> **Important:** To achieve the widest input range on the N7026A (up to 30 Arms or 40 Apk), you must use the external AC power adapter that comes with the probe; without it the probe achieves up to 5 Arms or 5 Apeak.

> **Important:** The N2791A and N2891A probe power is supplied by included 4x AA batteries or the USB host port of the scope or PC via a supplied USB power cable.
