    Contents and availability

    AC current and temperature checks in a compact body.

Purchase links appear where the exact offer is verified. Confirm the named model, quantity and accessories before ordering.

Watch out

  • SC220, SC240 and SC260 share a manual; the microamps DC function belongs to the SC220 only, not the SC260.

Why people pick it

  • Compact body (205 mm, 265 g) still carries 400 A AC clamp current, True RMS volts and Type K temperature
  • Auto Select mode picks resistance, continuity, diode or capacitance automatically, so there is one less dial decision on a job
  • Takes any Type K thermocouple directly with cold-junction compensation inside the meter, and reads to 752°F
  • Swivel magnet sticks the meter to metal for hands-free work, with a 150-hour battery life
  • CAT III 600V rating with a full accessory kit: gold-plated silicone leads, thermocouple, case and battery

Know before you buy

  • AC clamp current only: no DC jaw current, so DC amps need a different instrument
  • No inrush capture - that feature is on Fieldpiece's SC440
  • No microamps DC range, so flame-sensor (flame rectifier) tests are not covered
  • No data logging or wireless connection: readings are display-only
