Tektronix P6021 10x Passive Scope Probe

The Tektronix P6021 is an AC current probe engineered for non-invasive current measurements on energized conductors up to 5 mm diameter. Its split-core construction clamps around a live wire without circuit interruption, delivering accurate waveform capture across 120 Hz to 60 MHz. The probe operates with a 125:1 transformation ratio and dual sensitivity settings—2 mA/mV and 10 mA/mV—enabling flexible measurement ranges from 10 mA minimum to 10.6 A RMS or 250 A peak. Rise time of less than 5.8 ns supports transient analysis and fast signal capture.
