Summary of PCBite 2.0 – Hands-free & steady solution for your measurements
This article introduces the PCBite 2.0, a precision probe designed for steady, hands-free measurements on workbenches. Developed by Sensepeek, this tool features a flexible metal gooseneck arm and a weighted head that maintains constant pressure without adjustment screws. The design allows for instant probing or continuous monitoring, solving previous issues with wobbly boards.
Parts used in the PCBite 2.0:
- Flexible metal arm (gooseneck)
- Compressible needle
- Weighted head
- Powerful magnet base
- Thread interface measuring tip
Last year we created the flexible and rock solid PCB holder – the end to wobbly circuit boards on your workbench. TODAY we proudly present the perfection of a measurement tool. A steady but yet flexible precision probe made for instant measurements or total hands-free operations.
Our amazing community enlightened us with ideas that would facilitate their projects even more. There was no good solution for continuous probe measurements so we decided to create one.
The probe has a “lift and drop” function without any annoying adjustment screws to lock the probe into position. The weight of the head makes the compressible needle maintain constant pressure at the probing point so even if the board is bumped the probe tip will stay in position.
PCBite precision probe has a flexible metal arm and a powerful magnet in the base .The measuring tip comes with a thread interface for several mounting options.
The rooted gooseneck arm will keep your hand steady and give you the precision you need.

- What is the main function of the PCBite 2.0?
It serves as a steady yet flexible precision probe made for instant measurements or total hands-free operations. - How does the probe maintain constant pressure without screws?
The weight of the head makes the compressible needle maintain constant pressure at the probing point. - Can the probe stay in position if the board is bumped?
Yes, even if the board is bumped, the probe tip will stay in position due to the weighted head mechanism. - Does the PCBite 2.0 require adjustment screws to lock the probe?
No, it has a lift and drop function without any annoying adjustment screws to lock the probe into position. - What mounting options are available for the measuring tip?
The measuring tip comes with a thread interface for several mounting options. - How does the flexible metal arm assist the user?
The rooted gooseneck arm keeps your hand steady and gives you the precision needed for operations. - Who developed the PCBite 2.0?
Sensepeek, a start-up company based in Sweden, created this tool. - Is the project currently in volume production?
Yes, after evaluating the last prototype order with good results, they are ready to push the button for volume production.
