Fluke TP81 Insulation Piercing Test Clips 5A 4 In Red Black Yellow

SKU CH-6D5C-EW4Z7

Insulation-piercing clips accept 4 mm banana plugs and probe 14, 16 and 18 ga. wire up to 60 VDC

  • Pierces 14, 16 and 18 ga. wire without stripping insulation
  • Stainless steel tip maintains reliable contact through tough jackets
  • 5 A, 60 VDC rating suits low-voltage automotive circuits
  • Accepts standard 4 mm banana plugs for quick lead changes
  • Supplied as a pair in red, black and yellow for phase identification

What the Fluke TP81 clips are

The Fluke TP81 set provides three insulation-piercing test clips rated for 5 A and 60 V DC. Stainless-steel tips penetrate 14, 16 and 18 gauge wire without stripping. Each probe accepts a standard 4 mm banana plug for quick connection to test leads.

Check your leads and voltage before ordering

Verify that your test leads terminate in 4 mm banana plugs so they seat securely in the clip housings. Confirm the circuit under test does not exceed 60 V DC, as the clips are not rated for higher voltages. Ensure the wire gauges you intend to probe fall within the 14 to 18 ga range.

How the clips fit a measurement setup

The red, black and yellow colour coding helps identify phase, neutral and signal paths during automotive or low-voltage electrical work. Piercing insulation saves time on repetitive checks and leaves the conductor intact for service. The 4-inch length keeps hands clear of tight harnesses while the banana-jack interface works with existing multimeter leads.

Questions about this item

Does the TP81 pack include test leads or only the two piercing probes?

The set contains two stainless-steel piercing probes that accept 4 mm banana plugs; test leads with banana plugs must be supplied separately.

Which wire gauges can the TP81 clips pierce reliably?

The stainless-steel tip is designed to pierce insulation on 14, 16 and 18 gauge automotive wire.

What does the 60 VDC rating mean when I am probing a live circuit?

The clips are rated for a maximum of 60 VDC, so they are suitable for low-voltage automotive systems but not for mains or high-voltage circuits.
