Versions AM503A and AM503B have digital readout of deflection factor. The AM503S is an AM503A bundled with a [[TM502A]] mainframe, a [[016-0362-01|TM-500 toolbox]], and a [[A6302]] probe.
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.
