Retractible Probe clip caps for Rigol scope.
« on: September 24, 2024, 11:20:06 pm »
Picked up a inexpensive Rogol DSO1052E for a decent price, but the probes that came with (I assume they are the originals) didn't come with the retractable hook caps.  Anyone know if replacements are available anywhere?  I found some on eBay but it's not clear if they'll fit the Rigol probes or not.

PS: I did some searching of the forums and couldn't find an answer to this.

Those look similar in function to the originals, but I can't guarantee they will fit.
You might just want to buy some entire probes, since the cost is only a few dollars more than the caps.

If you can get one for $2 then give it a try, but don't be too hopeful.

OTOH you can get decent new probes for under $10.

Why don't you contact the seller and ask if those are compatible with your probes? also send a photo of your probs for him to check. it's better than waiting for something that may not fit.

I noticed the probes in the aliexpress link are listed as fitting (amongst others) 'PP2200'.  The probes I have are RP2200 (I think) - maybe they'll fit???   In any case, they're cheap, so I ordered a few.  Will post the fitment results here when I receive them.  In the meantime, I have some Tektronix probes around somewhere, but the replacement caps will probably come in before I figure out where those Tek probes are.  ::)

Just an update on this in case anyone is interested.  The cheap AliExpress probe clips I ordered fit and work just fine on the probes I received with the scope (I assume the probes are original but who knows).  Not sure how durable the clips will be over the long term but initially things look good.

These are the clips I ordered:

Here's what they look like:
