HP 10013A 10:1 Oscilloscope Probe 10 MOhm 13pF BNC for 1MOhm 24-45pF Inputs

HP 10013A 10:1 Oscilloscope Probe 10 MOhm 13pF BNC for 1MOhm 24-45pF Inputs

The HP 10013A is a passive 10:1 oscilloscope probe designed for use with oscilloscopes having a 1 MOhm input impedance. It attenuates the input signal by a factor of 10 while presenting a high impedance (10 MOhm / 13pF) to the circuit under test, minimizing circuit loading. The probe connects to the oscilloscope via a standard BNC connector and is terminated with a sharp pin tip for precise signal pickup.

Applications

The HP 10013A is a general-purpose passive probe compatible with a wide range of bench oscilloscopes from Hewlett-Packard and other manufacturers that use a standard 1 MOhm BNC input. Passive 10:1 probes like this one are standard tools in electronics labs, service benches, and educational settings for general voltage measurement, waveform analysis, and circuit troubleshooting. This probe was produced during the era when HP was a leading manufacturer of test and measurement equipment — the same product line was later continued under the Agilent and then Keysight brands following HP's successive spinoffs. It remains compatible with any modern or vintage oscilloscope accepting a 1 MOhm / 24–45pF BNC input.
