Datasheet

TCP0020, TCP2020, TCP202A

The TCP0020, TCP2020, and TCP202A are a family of high-performance,

easy-to-use AC/DC current probes designed for use with a variety

of oscilloscopes. The TCP0020 is designed for direct connection to

oscilloscopes with the TekVPI™ probe interface and the TCP202A is

designed for direct connection to oscilloscopes with the TekProbe™ probe

interface. The TCP2020 is designed for use with any instrument with BNC

inputs and >100 kΩ input termination.

These AC/DC current probes provide sufficient performance to support

50 MHz measurement system bandwidth. The TCP0020 and TCP2020

provide excellent accuracy to current levels as low as 10 mA, important for

meeting today’s challenging current measurement needs.

Power Requirements

TCP0020 is powered directly by oscilloscopes with the TekVPI™ probe interface.

TCP2020 is powered by AC adapter. (Specify power plug option when ordering.)

TCP202A is powered directly by oscilloscopes with the TekProbe™ probe interface

or through the TekVPI™ probe interface when used with the TPA-BNC adapter.
