Oscilliscope ground split ring clip

(1/1)

Maksnav:
Not sure where to post this, I hope its not too out of place.

Ive been fruitlessly searching for a place to buy the split ring ground connector for my probe. Does anyone have a source for these? I've searched for just about every keyword combination i can think of with no success any help would be much appreciated. I could buy ground cables and tear the connector off but id prefer to just buy the clips if possible. TIA.

tszaboo:
Are you buying as a private person, or company?
For former:
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=oscilloscope+ground+clip&crid=3MNGQL7HX0RIT&sprefix=oscilloscope+gro%2Caps%2C158&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_2_16
Same search term would work on Aliexpress ie. Mouser, Newark or others I'm sure have a "Oscilloscpe accessory kit"
Carefult buying it, the ground connection exists in different diameters.

ebastler:
Sorry, I am not aware of a source for just the clips. Just a word of caution that you should not connect long ground wires to the probe anyway: The impedance of a long wire will distort your signals, and the large loop area formed by the probe tip and ground wire will act as a pretty effective antenna for unwanted background noise.

I would not go beyond the length of a typical ground strap (as provided with the probes) -- shorter is better. So the good news is that, if you buy complete ground straps, you can use the C clip + cable and only have to discard the crocodile clip. ;)
