A621 2000 Amp AC Current Probe/BNC
This industrial-style clamp-on probe has a BNC connector and may be
used with a shrouded banana plug adapter*
multimeters, TekMeter, and scopes. The A621 can measure AC currents
from 100 mA to 2000 A peak over a frequency range of 5 Hz to 50 kHz. It
provides a 1 mV, 10 mV, or 100 mV output for each Amp measured.

A622 100 Amp AC/DC Current Probe/BNC
This "long nose" style clamp-on probe uses a Hall Effect current sensor
to provide a voltage output to oscilloscopes. It has a BNC connector and
may be used with a shrouded banana plug adapter*
on digital multimeters, TekMeter, and scopes. The A622 can measure
AC/DC currents from 50 mA to 100 A peak over a frequency range of DC to
100 kHz. It provides 10 mV or 100 mV output for each Amp measured.
