TCP202 DC Coupled Current Probe

When combined with a Tektronix TDS Oscilloscope, the TCP202 enables users to make direct readout DC and AC current measurements, resulting in accurately displayed and recorded measurements.

The TCP202 is a general-purpose probe for displaying and measuring current in electronic circuits. It is ideal for power supply and motor drive design, and for device testing.
