Tektronix 80A02 EOS/ESD Protection Module

The 80A02 EOS/ESD Protection module protects the sampling bridge of Tektronix electrical sampling module inputs from damage due to electro-overstress (EOS) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) from circuit boards and cables. The 80A02 is intended for use in applications such as electrical TDR circuit board testing and cable testing where large static charges can be stored in the DUT.

The 80A02 plugs into any available electrical sampling module plug-in slot of the DSA/TDS/CSA8K Series, legacy CSA11K Series, or legacy CSA803 Series sampling oscilloscopes.

The 80A02 provides a front-panel SMA connector for connecting the SMA test cable or probe signal from the DUT. The 80A02 passes the acquired DUT signal to a connected electrical sampling module input for measurement after an actuating control (from the matching P80318 or P8018 high-performance probe, or customer-provided external switch, TTL, or CMOS control logic input) which signals the 80A02 that the DUT has been grounded to discharge any electrostatic charge remaining in the DUT.
