Hi everyone.
Bit of an odd question, I'll start with some context.
I'm putting together a simple curve tracer to use with my scope. Now, I could make the horizontal and vertical outputs 50 ohms, use BNC connectors and coax and 50 ohm feed through terminators on my scope, but that would mean some extra expense - I don't have any 50 ohm feed throughs (not much use for them until now) so I'd need to purchase those, and I'd also need a circuit capable of driving 50 ohms (100 ohms), which would add significantly to my BOM compared to if I were able to say, drive a 1Meg/10Meg scope probe which any old op amp can manage.
So, my plan is to use regular 10:1 scope probes rather than use coax. All good so far.
Now, I do already have probe tip to BNC adapters, but it got me to wondering if there are purpose built 3.5mm or 5mm panel mount probe sockets? I haven't been successful in my searches, but if they do exist, I'm sure someone here would know, though I would not be at all surprised if they don't.
If they do exist, it would just mean I wouldn't need to dedicate more adapters to a single piece of equipment with the potential for them to go missing, etc.
I also welcome any feedback about my intentions, if my thought process is flawed, please let me know. Thanks again for any help.
