Hi, my Fluke i30 current clamp connector has failed and I am struggling to find a suitable replacement part, I have tried RS, element14 and a few other online stores, but cant find a similar type to the factory fitted. There is no part number on the plug (only says Fluke). I would rather not fit 2 separate 4mm plugs if I can help it. I dont know if there is some special name other than "2 pin male banana plug" . The only results I am getting are unshrouded and not even clear they have 2 separate conductors. Anyone know a source for these? Thanks. |

Replacing the cable would probably be easier than trying to find (and fit) a new connector. Fluke might be willing to sell you a new cable assembly and if not, you could just buy a Pomona 6283-C and cut off one end. |

Thanks for that part number, I went around the Pomona website and couldn't find anything like that. If I can manage to replace the whole cable with something more flexible than what seems like standard RG58 coax on the Fluke then I will happily do it. :-+ I just checked the data sheet and Pomona do in fact use RG58. |

I doubt you will be able to find one with a much nicer cable. The reason I suggested replacing the whole cable is that: - "safety"-type connectors are often molded to the cable, hand-assembly-type variants are not necessarily readily available - if you could get one for hand-assembly, it might well be more expensive than a cable assembly and you probably need a crimping tool as well. I suppose you could put an insulated BNC on the existing cable (or on some other coax you like better) instead and use it with a suitable BNC to dual banana adapter (Fluke PM9081, Stäubli 67.9537-21...). Those are available as a crimp version (Pomona 73104). |

Yes, I think you are right, a BNC will be a lot easier to replace than this unobtainium connector and also make it easier to hook up to the scope. There's not much in it price wise between the two solutions, so the added functionality of a BNC wins :-+ |
