Flexible leads can be cost-effectively produced
Multi-Contact
Test leads with 4mm diameter stackable plugs
Multi-Contact has introduced test leads fitted with 4mm-diameter stackable plugs that are formed in a one-piece manufacturing process, making them suitable for budget-conscious users such as schools.
The new design has the advantage of providing a particularly low transmission resistance, since the Multilam torsion spring element is formed as an integral part of the plug.
The production process also means the test leads can be manufactured with the same high quality but at reduced cost, making them particularly suitable for budget-conscious users such as laboratories and educational establishments, as well as OEM applications.
The leads are made from highly flexible stranded wires and can be supplied with PVC or silicone insulation in a wide range of lengths and colours.
Touch protection is provided up to 1000V (CAT II) / 600V (CAT III) in accordance with the IEC/EN 61010-031 standard, even when unmated.
