PicoBNC+™ Resistance Lead and Temperature Probe
Graph resistance with the PicoBNC+ Resistance and Temperature with the Temperature Probe using your PicoScope. Watch the video Using a Resistance Lead on our training website.
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 2m in a Y configuration, with the non-PicoBNC+ ends being 1m in length and terminated in a 4mm 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 5mm 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
