A6302
(Redirected from A6302XL)
The Tektronix A6302 aka P6302 is a 50 MHz, 20 A current probe. It requires an AM503/A/B, AM5030 or 11A16 amplifier for operation. It was designed by Dale Dorando.
There is also an A6302XL version with 8 m instead of 2 m cable, and 17 MHz bandwidth. The A6302XL can only be used with the AM503B and AM5030, and will not be recognized by other current probe amplifiers.
