The state-of-the-art high voltage differential probe series HORNET® combines a ±4000V differential and common mode voltage input range with a remarkable >300MHz bandwidth, establishing itself as the best-in-class solution for the growing demands of wide bandgap power electronics design, e.g. double pulse testing of high-speed high-voltage switching devices of SiC technology, and testing of IGBTs, thyristors, fast-switching HV diodes, and more.

The HORNET® series probes have a universal BNC output connector and is compatible with any oscilloscope in the lab with 50Ω input impedance, or 1MΩ input impedance and a 50Ω feed-through termination.

This high voltage differential probe series is not for handheld use and for integration into full-automated or manual test stations for high-voltage safety reasons. HORNET® is therefore used as a voltage-measuring component (permanently attached device) in a test system or safety test environment with recommendation to be controlled remotely.

The „PMK Probe Control“ PC software with graphical user interface is free of charge and included with PMK’s 2ch and 4ch power supplies PS-02 and PS-03, which are required to power the scope-agnostic probe. The PS-02 and PS-03 power supplies all have a USB interface and are available with optional LAN interface.

In addition, the Python package "Pmk-probes" is available as a programming interface for controlling active PMK probes. Installation instructions, examples and documentation can be found here:

ISO17025 calibration upon delivery or as re-calibration is available.

For adapting to test points, we recommend the new test point to 4mm adapters with MMCX-, SMA-, BNC- or square pin inputs.
