Oscilloscope Probes

→ Connections to the ground of oscilloscope probes with the mini PCM Parrot Clip provide improved accessibility, reliability and accuracy. Ground clips for oscilloscope probes were traditionally alligator clips, but their large jaws provide poor accessibility in narrow spaces.

→ Ground clips for oscilloscope probes were usually alligator clips, which have a large connection surface and can be securely connected to large devices and surfaces. However, alligator clip connections are not always reliable, as they can detach when the probe moves. Connections in narrow spaces are also difficult or impossible.

→ Parrot Clips provide better accessibility in narrower spaces and on devices with small or low-profile terminals.

→ Connections with Parrot Clips on round terminals are very difficult to accidentally disconnect and provide very low resistance compared with alligator clips.

→ A very good solution for oscilloscope probe users is to have both:

→ 1) Ground connectors with an alligator clip

→ 2) Ground connectors with a Parrot Clip
