The PicoBNC+ 60A DC Compact Current Clamp (TA496) with PicoBNC+® does not have a battery or a Zero button and is smaller than Pico's long nosed current clamp, the TA473.

Three things happen when the probe is connected to the PicoBNC+® on the PicoScope 4225A/4425A:
1. It is powered. (no more changing batteries)
2. It is zeroed. You can also use the PicoScope 7 software to zero the clamp
3. Pico 7 software automatically scales (ranging) for the clamp.

The TA496 clamp boasts amazing resolution and accuracy with reduced noise levels when testing:
- Gas and diesel injectors
- Solenoids
- Throttle motor functions
- EGR actuators
- Broadband 02 sensors (in conjunction with current multiplier)
- High current consumption tests up to 60 Amps (Motor lock-up test)
- Parasitic drain 

The TA496 60A DC Compact Current Clamp
- PicoBNC+™ scope connector
- Range: 5mA and 60A
- 9mm diameter jaw (0.35")
- Overall length of probe with shielded lead is 2.85 meters (9' 4")
- Battery not required!
- 1-year warranty

The TA496 clamp is CAT II 300 V rated and double insulated so is suitable for use in automotive environments.

Below, comparison of waveforms from TA018 (blue) and TA496 (red) current clamps.
