threads are slotted across their axis with
2 slots 180° apart. By compressing the
probe along its axis, the slots function as
a spring. The probe threads are pressed
firmly into flank-to-flank engagement
with the internal threads of the bushing,
eliminating backlash, while providing a
uniform adjustment torque that is self
locking.

Standard models are useful from 2 to 33
GHz. Metallic tuning elements can be
used to change the capacitive loading
within a waveguide, or any place a
metallic tuning probe is required.

1. Gold plated brass bushings and chromated brass rotors in the sizes shown
above are standard. Other sizes and/or materials are available, contact
factory.
All dimensions are in / mm.
Custom sizes available.
2. Hardware modifications:
2.1 For slotted bushing, replace “S” in model number by “L”.
2.2 For ring nut (instead of hex nut), replace “N” in model number by “R”.
2.3 For no nut, replace “N” by “F”.
3. Rotor adjusting slot is 0.060/1.5 x 0.016/0.41 for bushings where “H” is
0.120-80, 0.13/3.3 x 0.020/0.51 for bushings where “H” is 0.190-64, and
0.16/4.0 x 0.020/0.51 where “H” is 0.234-64.
