Pico Technology has launched the latest addition to their PicoBNC++ range, the TA496 PicoBNC++ 60 A DC compact current clamp, offering users improved comfort and accessibility and ease of use.
Physical space between components is at a premium in modern vehicles as manufacturers look to maximize the available passenger space, causing difficulties for technicians as they are left with little room for manoeuvre when parts need testing or replacing. In addition, tight spaces between components increase the chance of picking up interference when circuit testing. In all cases, the company aims to provide users with easy-to-use and easy-to-maintain accessories. Their solution in this case is this compact current clamp featuring a smaller design and improved shielding compared to the nearest BNC-equipped equivalent.
By improving its shielding and reducing its sensitivity to its orientation relative to the Earth’s magnetic field, the TA496 current clamp offers increased signal accuracy and clarity when compared to the BNCequipped TA018 current clamp. The improvement is particularly noticeable when the clamp is operating in low ranges and can help test repeatability and inspires maximum confidence in the results.
