Overview
The Tektronix P6055 differential probe (part number 010-6055-00) is a 10× passive probe pair engineered for high-fidelity differential signal measurement. With 1 MΩ input impedance and 10–47 pF input capacitance, the P6055 delivers precise gain matching and low loading effects on measurement circuits. This probe pair is ideal for oscilloscope work requiring exact differential amplifier compensation.
