Title: Purchase just the accessory kit with Agilent N2863B scope probes?
Post by: Pack34 on September 23, 2017, 10:29:18 pm
Is there anywhere you can buy just the accessory kit that comes with these? I seem to have lost the cap to one of my probes and would prefer to avoid the $150 complete kit if I can avoid it.

If you look at the Keysight data sheet for the probe, you'll see the accessory kit is part number N2856A, and just the retractable hook tip is N2858A.

you are just talking about the tip part with retractable hook?
Where are you located, I might have one laying around?

Maybe you can get a new old stock N2863A probe, use the accessories and keep the probe as spare:

Maybe you could spend $50 to get the bit you want and have extra bits too, or you could spend $10 on just the required bit, using the part number I mentioned above.
