CT6 Current Probe

The CT6 is the newest addition to the Tektronix portfolio of high frequency current probes. It is designed to meet the needs of high-speed circuit design and test applications which require ultra

high bandwidth, low inductance, and extremely small form factor.

The CT6 provides up to 2 GHz bandwidth when used with high

bandwidth oscilloscopes such as the Tektronix TDS694C, TDS794D,and TDS7000 Series oscilloscopes or with other compatible 50 Ω input measuring instruments. Low inductance (<3 nH) assures that the

loading effect of the CT6 on the circuit-under-test will be negligible, which is especially important for today's low-amplitude, high-speed circuit designs such as disk drive read/write preamplifiers. The probe is

a closed-circuit design which will accept uninsulated wire sized up to 20 gauge. This product is exempt from CE mark by virtue of its 30 V voltage limit.

CT1-CT2 Current Probes

The CT1 and CT2 Current Probes are designed for permanent or semi-permanent in-circuit installation. Each probe consists of a current transformer and an interconnecting cable. The current transformers

have a small hole through which a current carrying conductor is passed during circuit assembly.

The P6041 Probe Cable provides the connection between the CT1 and CT2 Current Transformers and a BNC oscilloscope input. A 50 Ω termination is required to terminate the cable when connected to a

high-impedance (1 MΩ) oscilloscope input. One probe cable can be used to monitor several current transformers that have been wired into a circuit.
