As you can see from our extensive range of probe holders, Micromanipulator has a product suited for any application. Among our selection, we have probe holders with pin jack, spring load, or set screw tip insertion. Depending upon your test requirements, single wire, coaxial, triaxial, coplanar, certified triax or Kelvin configurations are available.

We also manufacture straight or bent probe holders as well as single unit holders such as our Model 44 with a fixed probe tip that is engineered for high frequency or low level signal testing. With a frequency range from DC to 3 GHz, this economical probe is ideal for the most common microwave tests. In fact the Model 44 has so many options; it is almost a custom probe.

The Model 79 is one of our most popular probe holders and offers the choice of coaxial, triaxial, or Kelvin (single point dual wire) as well as the option of standard attack angle or on-axis probe clamps. Users can select a style from standard temperature or high temperature application probe holders.

If you do not see the information you need regarding one of our probe holders, please give us a call. Our engineers are more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Our medium range probe positioners offer industry leading flexibility and performance with 7 possible setup and positioning adjustments.

The Model 2525VM-2 has excellent COO for high-performance applications including sub-micron tests as well as a one-handed, left/right neutral operation. Our “Wave” series manipulators feature X-Y and Z leadscrew-lead nut control plus theta and planarity controls for alignment of microwave, multi-probe or mini-probe cards (such as Celadon’s “Versa Tile” and coplanar probes).

The probe positioners are stabilized by a vacuum or magnetic base and are used to support the probe holder. They are available in manual, motorized or programmable versions. Furthermore, to permit different probe holder shank widths to be firmly attached to the manipulator, a collet and collet shaft are used. At Micromanipulator the collet shafts are included with our manipulators and applicable collets are included with probe holders.
