Pomona 4969 Test Lead Kit

The Pomona 4969 kit provides a pair of test leads coloured red and black for quick BNC-to-flying-lead conversion. Each lead measures 5-29/32 inches and uses 20-gauge wire with PVC insulation. Technicians and engineers can attach the flying ends to terminal strips or customise them for specific test points. The set is rated for 500 Vrms maximum voltage.

Practical Voltage And Temperature Limits

The 500 Vrms rating defines the highest continuous voltage the leads can safely carry during measurements. PVC insulation remains intact up to 131 degrees Fahrenheit, so the leads must not be used in hotter environments. The 20-gauge conductors limit current capacity, making the kit unsuitable for high-power circuits. Users must observe both voltage and temperature boundaries to avoid insulation breakdown.

Installation Notes And Common Issues

Connection is straightforward: plug the BNC female ends into the instrument and secure the flying leads to the test points. The short 5-29/32-inch length restricts reach inside large enclosures, so extension leads may be necessary. Flying ends can fray if stripped repeatedly, and the PVC jacket may stiffen in cold conditions. A 90-day manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the red lead, the black lead, or both for my test setup?

The kit includes one red and one black lead so you can identify polarity at a glance; both are the same length, gauge and voltage rating.

What does the 500 Vrms rating mean when I am probing a live circuit?

It is the maximum continuous RMS voltage the insulation is rated for; do not exceed it or the leads may break down and create a shock hazard.

The leads end in BNC female connectors — what does that limit in practice?

You can only plug them into BNC male sockets; the flying-lead ends let you connect to terminal strips or custom points after the BNC breakout.
