Best PCB structures for P2102A
Hi,
I've been using this probe successfully with the 0402 head.
I've been probing a DNI 0402 capacitor footprint, but after several measurement (with some down-force) the sharp pins are damaging my pads.
I wondered if anyone had tried other probing structures?
I was thinking of using 4 well-spaced PTHs in a 2-port config. I could also add a similar structure for GND calibration.

Yes, the pins are quite sharp, partly to get through coating, but also because we have few choices in this size.
I think the vias are probable a good option, and we are also looking at selective hard gold plating as an option.
We'd really love hearing thoughts from the community as well.
