Test lead Voltcraft MSL-102, 4 mm banana connectors, 1 m length, black/red

Voltcraft MSL-102 test lead with 4 mm banana connectors, 1 m length, supplied in black and red. Designed for connecting multimeters, power supplies and test instruments, it provides reliable electrical contact for measurements and prototyping. Flexible insulated conductors offer ease of use and safe handling during electrical testing and troubleshooting.

Advantages

The pair of test leads includes moulded 4 mm banana plugs that ensure firm contact with compatible sockets and instruments. Colour-coded insulation (black and red) simplifies polarity identification during setup. The flexible cable construction reduces strain at connection points and allows comfortable manipulation in tight workspaces. Insulation material provides basic protection against accidental contact while enabling compact storage and repeated use.

Suitable for

• Multimeter measurements (voltage, current, continuity)
• Connecting bench power supplies to test circuits and prototypes
• Temporary wiring and troubleshooting in electronics workshops
• Educational labs and electronics training setups

Key specifications

• Connector type: 4 mm banana plugs on both ends
• Cable length: 1 m
• Colours: one black, one red
• Conductor type: flexible insulated conductor for hand testing
• Typical application voltage/current: suitable for standard low-voltage test and measurement tasks (observe instrument limits)

How to use

Insert the 4 mm banana plugs into the corresponding banana sockets on the measuring instrument and the device under test, observing correct polarity using the red and black leads. Ensure connections are secure before applying power or taking measurements. Route the cables to avoid sharp edges and pinch points; avoid excessive bending near the plug ends. After use, disconnect power first and then remove the leads from the sockets. Store the leads coiled without tight kinks to preserve flexibility.

Usage recommendations

Use these test leads for low-voltage diagnostic and prototyping work only. Verify that the instrument and test setup ratings are within safe limits for the leads. Do not use the leads in high-voltage or high-current applications beyond the capacity of the connectors and insulation. Regularly inspect insulation and plugs for damage; replace if wear or exposed conductors are found.
