Here's a picture of a water-damaged 376.  Do you notice anything (other than the damage) about it?   :)

The shape of the jaw doesn't look like that of the 376. It looks shorter to me.

Looks like it was dug up out of a swamp.

LOL. But to that point, aren't Fluke's chips normally potted? Granted I've not seen many Fluke clamp teardowns.

Isn't "BTC" the marking used by Brymen on their custom ICs?

It does look more like the 373 and definitely not looks like the 376. But I think the 373 was made by Brymen.

Maybe it is a different model, I was thinking it just might be a perspective issue.  It looks like it has the connectors for the iFlex probes though and I don't know what other model it could be.
