PMK's latest innovation in high-voltage probing, the PHVX series, establishes itself as a new standard for engineers working on the forefront of power electronics. Engineered specifically to meet the rising demands of testing high-speed switching devices such as SiC MOSFETs, IGBTs, thyristors, and fast-switching high-voltage diodes, the PHVX series sets a new benchmark with its initial 4kV model, the PHVX4kV.

Exceptional Performance for Advanced Power Electronics Testing

The PHVX4kV stands out in performance-critical measurement scenarios like double-pulse testing, enabling precise low-side VDS voltage measurements. Its remarkable combination of:

• High Bandwidth (>600MHz)
• Ultra-Low Input Capacitance (<3pF)

ensures exceptional signal fidelity even in challenging, fast-switching environments. This makes the PHVX4kV probe essential equipment for developing advanced high-voltage power electronics under controlled testing conditions.

Innovative Features and Versatile Accessories

PMK’s PHVX series features a robust and compact design intended exclusively for integration into automated or manual test stations, rather than handheld use. Its intelligent and practical design includes:

• Universal BNC Output Connector compatible with standard oscilloscopes with 1 MΩ input impedance.
• Replaceable Spring Tips and Versatile Contacting Accessories to accommodate various DUT configurations and ensure reliable connections.
• Unique 360° Rotatable Ground Ring enabling direct, capacitively unobtrusive contacting to standard 5.08 mm pitch square pin headers, providing unparalleled measurement accuracy.
• A broad array of specialized solder adapters, BNC adapters, and other dedicated accessories for safe, convenient, and accurate measurement setups.

Customized Probe Configurations

Each PHVX probe model is customizable to your exact testing requirements, available in multiple cable lengths and configurations. Additional options include:

• Versions without extra silicon insulation (S) for specialized high-power testing scenarios.
• Read-out capable models (RO) offering intelligent automatic scaling communication directly with oscilloscopes for quick setup and reduced human error.

Safe, Reliable Integration for Automated Test Environments

Due to high-voltage operational considerations, PMK emphasizes safety by designing the PHVX probes strictly as permanently attached measurement components in test systems. They are purpose-built for integration into fully automated or controlled manual test environments, providing users with maximum reliability, safety, and accuracy.
