What voltage and current levels can the Zyvex cables and probe tips handle?
Zyvex positioners can handle up to 100V and 200mA. Prober cables can handle up to 200 mA of current and voltages as high as 250 volts. The probes can take in excess of 4mA and will act like a fuse in the circuit. If a probe burns out at the point of breakdown during tests, a resistor can be placed in series with the probe. If the probes touch while they are at high voltage, the instantaneous current can be much higher than 200 mA. In this situation the sharp probe tips will vaporize similar to a fuse and this will keep such large currents from damaging any wiring on the device.
