Hantek CC-65 AC/DC Current Clamp Meter BNC Connector 20kHz Bandwidth

Description

Product Overview

The Hantek CC-65 is a versatile AC/DC current clamp meter designed for professionals who demand accuracy and convenience in electrical diagnostics. Featuring a 20 kHz bandwidth, this clamp can capture fast transient currents that many traditional meters miss, providing a more complete picture of circuit behavior. Its measurement range spans from 20 mA to 65 A, covering low‑current sensor applications as well as high‑current power distribution checks. The device includes a standard BNC connector, allowing direct coupling to any BNC‑compatible oscilloscope for real‑time waveform visualization. Constructed from a durable polymer housing with reinforced metal jaws, the clamp offers both resilience and a lightweight feel, weighing just 14.08 ounces. The integrated LCD display presents clear readings, while a low‑battery indicator alerts users when the internal 9 V battery requires replacement, ensuring uninterrupted operation. Dimensions of 7.68 × 2.76 × 1.30 inches make it compact enough to fit into standard tool kits without sacrificing performance.

Usage

Designed for a broad spectrum of electrical testing scenarios, the CC-65 excels in both industrial and hobbyist environments. Electricians can employ it to verify current draw on residential wiring, ensuring circuits are not overloaded before commissioning new installations. Maintenance technicians benefit from its ability to monitor motor currents during startup, detecting potential issues such as bearing wear or winding faults early. In laboratory settings, researchers use the BNC output to feed current waveforms into oscilloscopes, enabling detailed analysis of switching power supplies, inverters, and PWM‑controlled devices. The clamp’s non‑intrusive design allows users to measure current without disconnecting the conductor, reducing downtime and enhancing safety. Its intuitive one‑button operation means that even users with limited training can obtain accurate readings quickly, making it an ideal tool for on‑site troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, and educational demonstrations.
