The P67xx Series probes provide validation engineers with two mid-bus probing options and one solder-down option. The P67xx mid-bus probes are the best choice for minimal system impact. The P67xx use a new connectorless retention mechanism that is designed to maximize mechanical reliability. Conserving circuit board space is critical, the P6708 8-channel half-width probe is an ideal choice for designs that use x1 and x4 links. The P6716 16-channel full-width probe is also available. The P6701SD enables customers to validate their PCI Express designs on platforms where no mid-bus or slot connector exists.
