T5060 Oscilloscope Probe 60MHz 1x/10x Kit — Inexpensive Choice for General-Purpose Voltage Measurements

03/26/2026

The T5060 probe serves to connect the electrical circuit under test to the oscilloscope input. It performs several key functions:

• Signal Transmission: Physically connects the test point to the oscilloscope.
• Attenuation: It has a switchable attenuation of ×1 and ×10, which allows measuring signals of different amplitudes. The ×10 mode allows measuring higher voltages.
• Isolation and Matching: The high input impedance of the probe (1 MΩ in ×1 mode and 10 MΩ in ×10 mode) minimizes the load on the measured circuit, ensuring more accurate readings.
• Compensation: Allows the probe to be adjusted to the input capacitance of the oscilloscope, ensuring correct display of high-frequency signals, such as square waves.
