The Tektronix CT6 current probe is designed to meet the needs of high-speed circuit design and test applications which require ultra high bandwidth, low inductance and extremely small form factor.

The CT6 provides up to 2 GHz bandwidth when used with high-bandwidth oscilloscopes such as the Tektronix TDS694C, TDS794D and TDS7000 series oscilloscopes or with other compatible 50 ohm input measuring instruments.

Low inductance (less than 3 nH) assures that the loading effect of the Tektronix CT6 on the circuit-under-test will be negligible, which is especially important for today's low-amplitude, high-speed circuit designs such as disk drive read/write preamplifiers.

The CT6 current probe is a closed-circuit design which will accept uninsulated wire sized up to 20 gauge. This product is exempt from CE mark by virtue of its 30 V voltage limit.

The CT6 offers the smallest form factor available for current measurements on ever-shrinking circuit boards and components. It is designed for temporary installation and does not incorporate removable cables.

The Tektronix CT6 high frequency current transformer is a dynamic (i.e., non-DC) current measuring device. Is typically used in conjunction with compatible high bandwidth oscilloscopes and other instruments to observe and/or record high frequency current waveforms.

The CT6 current probe normally operates directly into 50 ohm scopes and other measuring device inputs. Output is 5 mV for each milliamp of input current when terminated in 50 ohms.
