Connector options Almost every probe in this catalog can be delivered with four connector options. The part numbers for each connector option are directly listed on product pages. Phasor connector OmniscanTM connector HypertronicsTM connector MUX module for Mentor UT - Krautkramer’s flagship phased array device For maximum functionality, attach the MUX module to your Mentor UT device and gain 32:128 capability, an additional hot swappable battery, and standard Tyco connector. Probes with more than 32 elements need the MUX module to connect to the Mentor UT device.
