Insulation piercing test clips

Pomona Electronics 5913 clips pierce wire insulation to create a secure test point without stripping conductors. Rated for 5.0 A and 1000 V AC/DC with a CAT III 1000 V safety rating. Nickel-plated beryllium copper tips and jaws ensure reliable conductivity. Black and red polypropylene housings provide clear polarity identification.

Technicians needing non-destructive voltage checks

Automotive and electrical technicians who need to measure signals on insulated wiring will find these clips suitable. They accept 4 mm sheathed banana plugs for direct multimeter connection. Users requiring a standard alligator clip for bare terminals or a larger jaw opening beyond 0.18 in should consider a different style.

0.18 in jaw opening

The maximum jaw opening of 0.18 in determines the thickest insulated wire the clip can grip and pierce. Verify your wire diameter against this limit before purchase. The 5.0 A and 1000 V ratings define the safe electrical operating window for the assembly.

Questions about this item

What size wire can the 5913 clip jaws grip?

The test clip opening is .18 in, so it accepts conductors that fit within that gap.

How do I connect these clips to my multimeter leads?

They are made for 4 mm sheathed banana plugs; push each plug fully into the clip body until it seats.

When should I replace the piercing tips on the 5913?

Replace them once the nickel-plated beryllium copper tips show visible wear or no longer pierce insulation cleanly.
