PicoBNC+™ Resistance Lead and Temperature Probe

Graph resistance with the PicoBNC+ Resistance and Temperature with the Temperature Probe using your PicoScope.

PicoBNC+™ Resistance Lead

This is a new Lead and offers dynamic measurement of resistance, which is a feature we are using within our EV guided tests. The PICO-TA432 offers a diode test function in addition to resistance measurements. The Lead has a total length of 2 m in a Y configuration, with the non-PicoBNC+ ends being 1 m in length and terminated in a 4 mm non-shrouded connection. The Lead contains an active current source and is intended to be used only on unpowered components and wires.

PicoBNC+™ Wide-range Linear Temperature Probe

The PICO-TA395 is a linear temperature lead measuring in the range -40°C to 125°C to cover all common automotive and off-highway applications. The temperature sensor is enclosed in a 5 mm stainless steel housing to provide contact and airflow measurement.

Typical Applications

  • Engine temperature ~ typically +20°C to +120°C
  • Heated seat temperatures ~ typically -10°C to +40°C
  • Car heater temperatures ~ typically 0°C to +50°C
