Unique-Bargains 6C2-A DC 0-5A analog ammeter electrician tool

Direct Current Ammeter 0–5 A

The Unique-Bargains 6C2-A is a panel-mounted analog gauge designed to measure direct current from zero to five amperes. It suits electricians and technicians who need a local, at-a-glance reading on control panels or test rigs. The movement carries a Class 1.5 accuracy rating, meaning the indicated value stays within 1.5 % of full-scale deflection. Installing parts are included for straightforward panel integration.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Because the instrument uses a moving-coil mechanism with no active cooling, its accuracy remains stable as long as the measured current stays within the 0–5 A range and ambient temperature is normal. Continuous operation at the upper end of the scale does not introduce drift beyond the stated Class 1.5 tolerance. The white scale on a black background stays legible during extended monitoring sessions without the flicker or refresh delay of digital alternatives.

Panel Interface Limits

The meter fits a square 80 mm panel cut-out, so the mounting surface must accommodate that footprint and the depth behind the panel. It reads only direct current; alternating current or signals outside the 0–5 A window will not produce a valid indication. No external power supply is required for the movement itself, but the circuit under test must share a common reference for the reading to be meaningful.
