The Agilent/Keysight U1781A is an AC current clamp accessory designed to extend the measurement capabilities of compatible handheld multimeters and LCR meters. It enables non-invasive AC current measurement by clamping around a single conductor, eliminating the need for direct circuit interruption. The clamp outputs through a BNC connector integrated with a banana plug adapter for direct connection to instruments with standard banana jack inputs.
