Associated Equipment 6043 Clamp

The Associated Equipment 6043 is an inductive clamp designed for automotive electrical testing. It measures current sources accurately up to 1000 amps. Technicians use it to check starter draw, alternator output, and parasitic battery drain. The tool suits professional mechanics and serious DIYers working on vehicle electrical systems.

200/1000 A Measurement Range

This clamp handles two ranges: 200 amps for lower-current diagnostics and 1000 amps for high-draw components. It covers starter motors and alternators on most passenger vehicles. The inductive design allows non-intrusive measurement without breaking circuits. It runs out when testing heavy-duty commercial systems exceeding 1000 amps or when precise millivolt-level resolution is required.

Plastic Construction and Universal Fit

The clamp body and handle are moulded from plastic, keeping weight low and providing electrical insulation. Overall length is 10 1/2 inches with a spreading range of 2 1/5 by 2 3/4 inches, fitting standard battery cables. The universal vehicle application means no make-specific adapters are needed. Buyers needing a metal-jaw clamp for extreme durability or a built-in display for standalone readings should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the 200/1000 A inductive clamp work with my existing multimeter that has a standard input jack?

The clamp provides accurate measurement of current sources up to 1000 amps for starter draw, alternator output and parasitic battery drain testing, and connects to a multimeter using standard test leads.

How can I verify the 6043 clamp is reading correctly after I connect it to my meter?

Select the appropriate AC or DC current range on your multimeter, clamp the jaws around a single known-good conductor such as a battery cable, and confirm the displayed value matches the expected load or charging current.

Does the 10 1/2 in plastic clamp include test leads or a carrying case, or must I buy them separately?

The package contains only the inductive clamp itself; test leads and a storage case are not included and must be purchased separately.
