Product Description

The flexible test cable is 1 meter long. The voltage is 1000 volts and the current is 15 amps. 4 mm is the size of the banana plug. There is a stackable design to these banana plugs. Several banana plugs can be connected to a banana socket at the same time. Sort of like adding connections to an existing one.
I found the wire to be decently thick, and the ends themselves were rubberized, rather than slick plastic, as certain cables tend to be. It is a silicone cable for testing. I really like working with these wires because they are very soft, flexible, and For your lab, you need good test cables. These cables should be in the hands of every electronic technician.
This set provides reliable banana plugs and silicone insulation, which greatly enhance durability and flexibility of the leads. Plastic insulation, once rolled and/or wrapped, is less likely to "memorize" is easily fitted into other leads and sockets. Plugs easily fit into other leads and sockets.
The little leads can be used for a wide range of electrical and electronic purposes. The meter bag should contain this item. It is crucial to have a third hand and to test many circuits at once when you need a third hand. The banana connectors are easy to connect with either a regular bench power supply or a normal meter. The rubber insulation is very nice.
They are good quality leads that work great for testing with moderate to low currents. Thick wire provides good stability. A wire of this type can handle up to 15 amps. As long as your test is using a fuse of 15 amps or less, they are good for basic electrical repair services like testing automotive accessories and testing vintage cars, trucks, and motorcycles.

Questions & Answers

Within those silicone cables, what gauge of wire is there?

22awg is what I believe they are.

Is there any way the manufacturer or seller could provide a clear definition of ?

By looking at the thickness of the jacket, I think these are 16 gauge wires. In addition to being extremely flexible, they are also very durable. It makes sense to get these rather than the high-priced Snap-ons The led set I purchased for testing was used

Can you tell me what the length of this product is?

The cables in my order from 2018 were described as being one meter long. According to my measurements, the flexible wire is 42 inches from plug tip to plug tip, and 37 inches between the molded strain reliefs at the plug ends, so that is pretty close to what you

Does anyone know what is the thickness of the cable (including the jacket)? I am looking to buy a wire rack that will accommodate these. ?

Calipers were used to measure the distance. The diameter of the wire is 4mm (5/32 inch). The strain relief should be 8mm or 5/16 inch if included

Silicone is not suitable for this application
3/5

This insulation is not good enough for a high-rise building Silicone with a high melting point. Using my soldering iron to test the insulation, I made a tiny nick and it melted straight through. If the temperature is high enough, real silicone doesn't melt, it burns instead. A decent silicone wire can easily withstand being touched with an iron for a brief moment. There are two types of plastic that can be used for this wire. The wire itself does not have any ratings or indications. Over $1 per wire, I'd consider these to be a bit pricey In relation to the quality, the price appears fair. Apart from that, they do what they should. Those banana plugs are decent, and the normal binding posts fit well inside. If you tell outright lies in your description, you will earn a 1 star review.

One out of five of these test leads was defective with no more than 24 hours of use
3/5

A green test lead is shown placed across a Fluke 189 ohm meter in the photo. On this lead, there is a resistance of 523 ohms, as indicated by the meter. Resistance should be so close to zero that it is virtually nonexistent. In the other leads, there is no difference. The following are the seven numbers The resistance is 9 ohms, which is considered This means that 1/5 of our test leads were I can't consider it good enough.

A total of 2 of 5 items were defective, rendering them useless as test devices
3/5

A test of electrical continuity failed on two of the five test leads I received. EEVblog's Dave Jones had a similar experience with a very, very similar looking product. Their failure rates are too high for any test equipment to be of any use In order to become more effective, I need to spend more time examining my projects rather than Having thrown his straight in the trash can, Dave Jones walked out of the room. The one I received is being sent back to be refunded.

There are 18 AWG and silicon coated wires
5/5

I like this set a lot. The two of them I cut were for a project box I was making to try and diagnose a starter motor problem I was experiencing Several 18 AWG wires with banana plugs on one end for the multimeter and bare wires on the other end to connect to the project box were needed. Since these were cheaper than buying the banana plugs and constructing the cable myself, I cut the ends of these and used them. In this case, 18 AWG wires are definitely used. My wire strippers had no issue stripping the two wires I used for the project box since the 18 AWG slot was available. I like how thick the insulation is. As a comparison test, I used a heat gun soldering iron by setting it at 500 degrees and pointing at an 18AWG wire insulated with PVC versus an insulated wire that I think is wire from this set did not discolor and remained flexible the wire from the PVC coated set turned black and hard. As such, I believe they are Using my multimeasure, I got a reading of about 100 milliohms from wire to wire. It is very consistent for each and every one in the set. All in all, I recommend this.

Test leads that are good
5/5

I can test it without any issues, and it feels like a high-quality It is difficult to determine whether plugs will work They differ in their looseness or tightness. The effect on conductivity seems to be negligible, however. So far, I haven't received any poor leads, but I've had a worse experience with other products like that before. My only problem with the other cables was that I replaced the bad ones whenever they malfunctioned.

*small rant* people leaving one star reviews just because a few bad cables is perceived as indicative of unreliability are just wrong. It would seem that people who buy this product are at least somewhat scientifically In most cases, there is no correlation between poor quality and poor There are times when even a big name piece of $100k test equipment fails Some are even prone to failure even at a high rate. There's no reason a product is more reliable if someone catches it early before it makes it to the customer. The only way you'd know about it is if you never came across In this case, it matters whether these cables were built correctly or not. It appears that nobody dropping 1 star reviews has bothered to cut open their allegedly unreliable cables to see if they are manufactured with appropriate quality. There are a variety of other tests that can be run as well This is the same type of QC a manufacturer would use to certify a product. That is the only way to tell whether there is just a defect or the product is poorly made rather than faulty. For those who are curious, I stress test my cables with high voltage (240V) at 10A for 30 minutes. A frequency sweep should be performed I can determine all I need to for my own use case based on this information.

Test leads for banana plugs that are well made and The three test leads I purchased are in excellent condition
5/5

A majority of the leads are electrically connected and register 0 or less. The end of a 1 Ohm wire End of story. They are all approximately one meter long (a little over three feet) and they're all close in length to each other. At room temperature, the insulation is very flexible, but I am not sure if the insulation is silicone. While using these leads, make sure to pay attention to safety. Due to the exposed metal portion, you must be careful not to leave the banana plugs plugged into the equipment when not in use. Because of the tapered shape of the plastic on the banana plug, it will sit flush with equipment that has The feature is a good one. In the attachment, you will find a photo of these leads plugged into a vintage Thanks to the molded plastic, the plugs stack easily due to the wire offset. If you stack, some metal will be exposed The photo illustrates the situation. It's great to have these test leads in my toolbox. The quality is great, and I will buy them again when I need more.

Please don't be put off by bad reviews because of quality control
5/5

The pictures in this gallery are superb. Basically, I am writing this review based on a number of reviews about these cables that I've seen. I have taken pictures of all my leads and it can be seen that they are all correct in ohms and specifications. If for some reason you do get a bad lead, just send it back in order and I'll fix it for you. As long as we got the good wires for correct diagnostics, you stayed on top of things. Every single one of these wires has been checked myself and found to be in excellent condition. The silicone is nice and they are larger diameter and fold nicely. This is a very nice set, and I plan to order another. These are worth the price that they cost, so you should get them right away.

I have had no issues with them
5/5

Quality materials seem to have been used in making these test leads. When I tested them with my fluke MM, the results were only There is 3 ohms of resistance on the device. It does seem that resistance readings become all kinds of awful if I clamp the meter on the part of the expanded metal, rather than on the post it is affixed to. The banana plug is designed to be compressed, so this is not a concern. This was also true when I tested these with some alligator clips attached to the ends of each lead. There is 3 ohms of resistance on the device. It did take a lot of scrubbing to get low resistance when the banana plug was inserted and removed from the alligator clip. Both surfaces of the parts were not wiped down, so I expect there to be contaminates on their surfaces. Those are the ones I recommend.
