Test lead Voltcraft MS5/BL 4 mm banana plug, 5.00 m, blue

The Voltcraft MS5/BL test lead is a 5.00 m insulated cable terminated with a standard 4 mm banana plug in blue. It is intended for electrical measurements and connections in laboratories, workshops and field service. The lead provides a flexible conductor and secure plug contact suitable for multimeters, power supplies and other test equipment, enabling reliable signal and power transfer during measurement and diagnostic tasks.

Advantages

The single-conductor test lead combines a long 5.00 m length with flexible insulation for easier routing and extended reach. The 4 mm banana plug ensures firm mechanical and electrical contact with common laboratory sockets and test instruments. The blue insulation allows quick visual identification of the conductor function or polarity in multi-lead setups. The cable construction and plug design prioritize safe handling and compatibility with standard test equipment.

Suitable for

• Electrical measurements with multimeters and handheld testers
• Connecting power supplies to prototypes and bench equipment
• Workshop diagnostics, component testing and lab work
• Field service and on-site troubleshooting where extended reach is needed

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5.00 m
• Connector type: 4 mm banana plug
• Conductor insulation color: blue
• Application: measurement and signal/power connections for test equipment
• Compatibility: standard laboratory and bench sockets, multimeters and power supplies

How to use

Insert the 4 mm banana plug into the corresponding socket of the multimeter, power supply or test instrument until it seats firmly. Route the 5.00 m cable to avoid sharp bends and pinching; maintain strain relief at connection points. When performing measurements, observe instrument input protection ratings and connect the lead according to the measurement procedure (e.g., correct polarity and appropriate terminal selection). After use, disconnect the plug by pulling the plug body rather than the cable and store the lead coiled without tight kinks to preserve flexibility.

Usage recommendations

Use the Voltcraft MS5/BL test lead only within the voltage and current limits of the connected instruments and follow applicable safety standards. Regularly inspect the insulation and plug for damage before use, and replace the lead if any deterioration is found. For comparative measurements, use consistent lead lengths and colors to reduce confusion and maintain repeatability.
