SNAP-ON CURRENT PROBE (SCP)


The Snap-on Current Probe (SCP) is a broad bandwidth probe capable of measuring currents on conductors in an aircraft or other test object. This is a broadband probe with a response characteristic which is flat from below 100 kilohertz to above 100 megahertz. It is a rugged, low weight device which is easily installed over existing conductors due to its snap-on design.

The SCP is designed to output to a standard 50-ohm cable terminated in its characteristic impedance. A type N connector is standard; other connectors may be supplied on request. The SCP may be ordered with either a one-ohm or a five-ohm transfer impedance. It also comes in three different sizes, with one, two, or three centimeter diameter apertures.

The SCP may be ordered with several different options for the frequency band of interest. The desired option is chosen by specifying the model number. The "STD" version is the standard probe. The "LF" version is designed for low frequency bandpass. The "HF" version is a special high frequency model which has a sensitivity with ±6 dB of the specified value to above one gigahertz. The high frequency probe exhibits a pulse response with less than 0.5 nanosecond risetime and less than ten percent deviation from ideal response.

The SCP-5(a) LF probe is slightly larger in thickness and mass than the STD and HF models. All SCP probes can be ordered in different sizes as shown by the table on the back of the data sheet.
