The XY-BNC-AL-CR22 is a specialized test cord designed to connect BNC-interfaced test equipment, such as oscilloscopes and function generators, directly to circuit test points using safe, insulated alligator clips. This cable translates the coaxial signal from the BNC Male plug into two separate connection lines, terminated by insulated crocodile clips (one for signal, one for ground).
A key feature is the use of high-quality, soft RG58 50 coaxial cable, which ensures source impedance matching with standard oscilloscope inputs/outputs, significantly reducing transmission loss and ensuring accurate signal reproduction, especially at high frequencies. The cord features a high-quality, pure copper BNC plug for reliable contact, differentiating it from lower-cost alternatives. The outputs utilize pure copper alligator clips with tiny heads and secure occlusion, making them ideal for precise, reliable connections in small or crowded test areas. The entire assembly is designed for flexibility and durability in benchtop environments.
Key Features
- BNC to Dual Croc Clip Conversion: Easily connects BNC-equipped instruments to circuit test points.
- High-Quality Coaxial Line: Uses soft RG58 50 coaxial cable with a 5.0 mm outer diameter, ensuring source impedance matching with oscilloscopes and reducing signal transmission loss.
- Durable Branch Lines: Features special molded red and black branch lines that are soft, durable, and resistant to quick breakage.
- Premium BNC Plug: Equipped with a high-quality pure copper BNC Male plug for reliable, high-frequency contact integrity (superior to common zinc alloy plugs).
- Pure Copper Croc Clips: Terminates in high-quality pure copper alligator clips with a tiny head design, ensuring close occlusion and making them suitable for reliable testing in cramped spaces.
- Insulated Clips: The clips are fully insulated for enhanced user safety during operation.
