The state-of-the-art high voltage probe series PHVX establishes itself with its first 4kV model PHVX4kV as the best-in-class solution for the growing demands of power electronics design, e.g. low side VDS measurements in double pulse testing of high-speed high-voltage switching devices of SiC technology, and IGBTs, thyristors, fast-switching HV diodes, and more.

With <3pF low input capacitance and a bandwidth exceeding 600MHz, the PHVX series ensures accurate and reliable measurements for fast-switching devices and power electronics, making it an essential tool for engineers working on advanced designs having a protected test environment.

The PHVX series probes have a universal BNC output connector and are compatible with any oscilloscope in the lab with 1 MΩ input impedance.

PMK’s PHVX series probes are not for handheld use and for integration into full-automated or manual test stations for high-voltage safety reasons. All PHVX probes are therefore used as a voltage-measuring component (permanently attached device) of a test system.

The probe series impresses with its innovative and compact form factor. Individual contacting with high signal fidelity in different applications is ensured with the replaceable spring tip and a variety of contacting accessories for high voltages. Particularly the unique ground ring, which can be rotated through 360° and thus enables direct contacting to 5.08 mm pitch square pin headers without adding any additional capacitive loading to the DUT for highest signal fidelity. In addition, there is a wide range of soldering adapters, BNC adapters, and other accessories for easy and save connectivity for this non-handheld probe.

Each voltage model is available in different cable lengths and configurations, w/o additional Silicon insulation (S) for high power measurements, and w/o read-out (RO) that features intelligent communication with automatic scaling on the oscilloscope display.
