When you want to connect a professional oscilloscope probe or a BNC cable to the specific inputs of Series 120 oscilloscopes (like 123 or 124), you will notice that the device inputs are of the banana type. This is where Fluke model BB120, categorized under test-probes-cables, comes into play.
This adapter is designed to fully maintain shielding (protection against noise), which is crucial at high frequencies.
Its insulated and robust body not only ensures user safety according to CAT III standards but also establishes a very strong connection that does not disconnect due to hand movements or cable motions.
With the BB120, you are no longer limited to specific Fluke probes and can utilize a wide range of BNC accessories in your projects.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fluke BB120 Adapter
Does this adapter work on regular multimeters?
Yes, if the distance between your multimeter sockets is standard (19mm), you can use it, but its primary use is in oscilloscopes for converting inputs to BNC.
Does using this converter result in a signal quality loss?
No, due to the shielded design, this adapter eliminates electromagnetic interference and maintains signal quality across the operating bandwidth of the device.
