These Testo standard measuring cables with angled plugs are designed for HVAC and electrical techs needing reliable connections for their multimeters and clamp meters. They provide a secure grip, making electrical parameter measurements simpler and safer on the job. Good leads are essential; trying to wrangle cheap, flimsy cables in a tight switchboard is a pain no one needs.

Whether you're checking control circuits, testing motor windings, or diagnosing power issues, these cables are built to handle daily use in Australian conditions.

Best For

• HVAC electricians and service technicians
• Refrigeration mechanics performing electrical diagnostics
• Apprentices learning electrical troubleshooting
• Competent DIY owners maintaining electrical components

Compatibility

These standard measuring cables are designed to connect seamlessly with Testo clamp meters and digital multimeters, including models like the Testo 760-1, 760-2, 760-3, and 770-1. Their universal 4 mm tip diameter also means they'll work with most other brands of multimeters on the market. If you're running a different model, check fittings and specs before ordering.

Features

• Angled Plug Design: Provides better strain relief and easier access in tight spots compared to straight plugs.
• Rubber-Coated Grips: Ensures a secure, non-slip hold, even with oily hands or in humid conditions.
• 4 mm Tip Diameter: Standard size (18 mm length) for broad compatibility with various electrical test points and terminals.
• CAT II 1000 V Rated: Suitable for measurements on general power circuits, appliances, and permanently installed equipment.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigours of daily trade use, resisting wear and tear.

• Tip diameter: 4 mm
• Tip length: 18 mm

Using It on the Job

1. Safety First: Always ensure the circuit you're testing is de-energised and locked out if working on mains power. Confirm your multimeter's function and range settings are correct before connecting.
2. Connect to Meter: Insert the angled plugs firmly into the appropriate input jacks on your multimeter or clamp meter, observing correct polarity (usually black for common, red for voltage/resistance).
3. Secure Grips: Use the rubber-coated grips to maintain a firm hold while making contact with test points. The angled plug helps manage cable routing.
4. Measure Parameters: Carefully apply the 4 mm tips to the test points, ensuring good contact for accurate readings. Avoid touching bare metal parts of the tips during live measurements.
5. Post-Use Care: Disconnect leads from the meter and coil them neatly to prevent kinks or damage. Store them in a tool bag away from sharp objects.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• These cables are rated for CAT II 1000V. Do not use them for measurements exceeding this category or voltage level.
• Always inspect cables for cuts, cracks, or exposed wiring before each use. Damaged leads can pose a severe electrical hazard.
• Follow Australian standards and Safe Work guidance for all electrical testing procedures.
• Ensure a current calibration on your measuring instrument for accurate and reliable results.

Tradie Pro Tip: Don't just chuck your leads in the bottom of your toolbox. Coil them properly after each job – it'll save you headaches with tangled wires and extend their lifespan, especially with these angled plugs.

Pair With
