Tektronix 80A02 Protection Module
The Tektronix 80A02 EOS - ESD Protection Module is an essential component designed to safeguard the sampling bridge of electrical sampling module inputs against potential damage caused by electro-overstress (EOS) and electrostatic discharge (ESD). This advanced protection module is ideal for use in high-stakes applications, such as electrical Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) circuit board testing and cable testing, where significant static charges may accumulate within the Device Under Test (DUT).
Engineered for flexibility and ease of integration, the Tektronix 80A02 effortlessly plugs into any available electrical sampling module slot found in the DSA/TDS/CSA8K Series, as well as legacy CSA11K Series and CSA803 Series sampling oscilloscopes. It features a front-panel SMA connector for reliable connection to SMA test cables or probe signals originating from the DUT.
The operation of the Tektronix 80A02 is driven by an actuating control from compatible high-performance probes, such as the P80318 or P8018, or through customer-provided external switch, TTL, or CMOS control logic inputs. This mechanism effectively signals the module to ground the DUT, ensuring any residual electrostatic charge is safely dissipated before measurement, preserving the integrity of your testing equipment.
