PicoBNC+ 1400V Differential Probe Kit for Automotive Oscilloscopes
Description
The award winning PQ345 PicoBNC+® 1400V differential probe kit by Pico Technology enables automotive technicians to measure high-voltage signals on electric and hybrid vehicles safely and accurately. Rated to 1000V CAT III and compatible with the PicoScope 4425A, the TA511 probe eliminates manual switching and batteries while providing automatic probe recognition for streamlined EV diagnostics.
The heart of the kit, the TA511 probe, rated to 1000 V CAT III is equally effective at handling high-voltage signals for EV and Hybrid systems, as all the way down to low-voltage differential signals such as 5 V communications, for example, CAN.
The PQ345 PicoBNC+ 1400V Differential Probe Kit, part of the PicoBNC+ family, changes the game for high-voltage measurements. With the hallmark benefits of PicoBNC+ connectivity, including probe recognition, it connects seamlessly with PicoScope 4425A oscilloscopes, eliminating manual range switching and battery concerns. With up to three probes usable at once, technicians can ensure safety compliance without compromising efficiency.
