Mittajohdot Voltcraft MS5/RT — 4 mm banaanipistoke - 4 mm banaanipistoke

Voltcraft MS5/RT test leads are double-ended measurement leads with 4 mm banana plugs on both ends, designed for creating secure, low-resistance connections in electrical testing and measurement setups. Compatible with instruments and equipment that use 4 mm banana sockets, these leads provide reliable signal transfer for multimeters, bench power supplies and lab instruments. The flexible insulation and straight banana plug design ensure consistent contact and ease of use when performing routine measurements, troubleshooting and educational experiments.

Advantages

The Voltcraft MS5/RT leads offer stable electrical contact and minimized connection losses due to their precise 4 mm banana plug contacts. The flexible PVC insulation and strain-relief at the plug ends increase durability under repeated bending and handling. Their symmetrical design—banana plug to banana plug—allows quick connection without adapters and supports both temporary and semi-permanent test setups. The leads are lightweight and simple to handle, reducing measurement interference caused by stiff or bulky cables.

Suitable for

• General multimeter measurements (voltage, current, resistance)
• Bench power supplies and laboratory equipment connections
• Prototyping and breadboard testing where 4 mm banana sockets are present
• Educational labs and training environments
• Troubleshooting and quick signal checks in electronics work

Key specifications

• Connector type: 4 mm banana plug on both ends
• Cable construction: flexible insulated conductor suitable for measurement use
• Conductor length: typical test-lead length for handheld and bench use
• Insulation material: flexible PVC or similar elastomer for mechanical protection
• Contact finish: corrosion-resistant metal for reliable signal transfer
• Operating use: designed for low-voltage measurement and signal tasks

How to use

Insert each 4 mm banana plug into the corresponding banana socket on the measuring instrument and the device under test, ensuring firm seating for reliable contact. Observe correct polarity where applicable and secure connections before applying power or taking measurements. Avoid excessive twisting at the plug-cable junction and route the leads to minimize mechanical stress; use the integrated strain-relief when available. For safety, disconnect power and discharge capacitors in the circuit before connecting or disconnecting the leads when working on powered systems.

Recommendations

Use the Voltcraft MS5/RT leads for low-voltage measurement tasks and routine lab connections. Regularly inspect the insulation and plug contacts for wear or damage and replace the leads if exposed conductors or loose plugs are detected. Store the leads coiled without tight kinks to prolong service life and maintain reliable electrical performance.
