Good quality cheap 100MHz Oscilloscope probes
« on: September 26, 2018, 09:09:34 am »
Wittig W201 100MHz switchable x1/x10 oscilloscope probes.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-100MHz-x1-x10-switchable-oscilloscope-probe/162693385317?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

Bargain, and he seems to have a few of them. No affiliation with the seller.

My local (USA) electronics dealer has them on perpetual sale for $2.95. I bought a few a while back out of curiosity.

These would be a good match for one of those Chinese $20 oscilloscope kits. They are about the cheapest POS probes I have ever seen, but of course YMMV.

ADDED - My Bad!  I overlooked the fact that these are 100 Mhz rated - they looked identical to the 20 Mhz versions I have bought. They do look to be of the same manufacture though.

Are these different from the usual cheap oscilloscope probes?

In a word ... yes. They actually work up to 100MHz for a start. I believe they were made by Texas Instruments, could be wrong on that though.

How do they compare to the Hantek PP150's ?

I've bought a ton of those in the last couple of years. Good probes for the money.

They were made by TI for ref. And they're much better than any cheap ass probes I've found.

I've only stopped using them recently because I got a decent deal on some new Tek probes.

Out of interest Mr BD139  ... did you sell a Rigol function generator on Ebay a while back and drop it off to a company in Feltham ??

Yes that was me. Small world! Hope you're still enjoying it :)

I actually needed an AWG about 2 months after that and ended up buying another DG1022Z :palm:

Previous threads claimed that the Wittig probes are made by Hong Kong Texas: http://www.hktexas.hk/en/index.html

They are certainly not made by Texas Instruments!
