The AM503, [[AM503A]], [[AM503B]], [[AM5030]] and [[11A16]] use the same current probe input connector, an [[Amphenol 165-12 connector]]. | |||
It contains pins for hall element and transformer connections, lock detection, probe degaussing, and probe type encoding. | |||
The AM503 was designed by [[Dale Dorando]]. | |||
The AM503 | |||
Later facelift versions [[AM503A]] and [[AM503B]] have digital readout of deflection factor. | |||
