What is the difference between an X PROBE and a standard probe?
The main difference between, for example, a X75-PRP2509S and a 100-PRP2509S is that the probe tube on the X75 Series is 1.110 [28.19] long versus 1.000 [25.4] long for the 100-PRP probe. The added length of the X75 Series is required to form the interconnect housing on the bottom of the probe tube. All other aspects of the probe are the same. The X Series probes when used with standard sockets will sit up approximately .085 [2.16] higher than a standard series probe in the same socket. This can be useful in special applications where it s desirable to have the probe sit up higher in a standard socket.
