Applications

The P6021 current probe is a classic accessory for mid-range and high-performance Tektronix oscilloscopes dating from the 1960s through 1980s. Current probes like the P6021 allow technicians and engineers to measure AC current flowing through conductors without breaking the circuit—a critical capability in electrical troubleshooting, circuit characterization, and power analysis. The probe couples magnetically to the conductor under test and outputs a scaled voltage signal to the oscilloscope for display and measurement. This manual documents the proper use, frequency response, measurement ranges, and connections necessary to integrate the P6021 with compatible Tektronix instruments. Such probes remain in active use today in vintage oscilloscope restorations, electronics repair, educational labs, and historical instrument collections.
