| Agilent/Keysight AutoProbe 1 Replacement Pins |

| Weston:
I am helping out with a student power electronics lab and I have found that a large number of the current probes using the Agilent/Keysight AutoProbe 1 interface due not work due to damaged pins. I was hoping to replace the damaged pins and restore the probe functionality. Has anyone ever identified the type of pogo pin that the Autprobe 1 interface uses and found a replacement? This is the interface used for most Agilent active probes: https://prc.keysight.com/Content/ProbeInterfaces.html I searched for old forum posts and was surprised when I did not find any info on this. The pins are easily damaged, so it seems like it should be a pretty common problem. |

Those are most likely Keysight proprietary pins. I would contact Keysight and ask, if these pins are available for sale. |

Did you check pogo pins? |

Shariar did a teardown of one of these probes. These were standard 100mil pogo pins. |

As a very late update, I have tracked down an exact replacement pogo pin and have confirmed it works! https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Smiths-Interconnect-IDI/S-2-J-4-G?qs=Uzd%2Fwh%252BZzhCupKIOd%2F7fvQ%3D%3D Also, if the pogo pin gets pushed in all the way it can be impossible to remove with pliers. I have discovered you can effectively bond a small wire (30AWG wire bond wire works best) to the tip of the pogo pin and pull it out by capacitively spot welding a wire to the tip with a ~60V lab power supply. If you take apart the probe connector you can remove the whole pogo pin assembly and make a connection to the back side with an alligator clip. |
