Stacking banana plug test lead

This 40-inch patch cord uses stacking banana plugs on both ends so multiple leads can connect to a single point on a meter or power supply. The 18 AWG conductors are rated for 15 A and 2,000 V, making the cord suitable for bench-top measurement and low-voltage power distribution tasks. The PVC insulation is specified for a maximum operating temperature of 130 degrees F. The cord is sold new and carries a one-year manufacturer warranty.

PVC insulation and nickel-plated plugs

The PVC jacket provides flexibility for routing around bench equipment while meeting the stated temperature rating of 130 degrees F. Nickel-plated steel plug bodies resist oxidation during repeated insertions, helping maintain low contact resistance over time. The stacking design allows a second plug to be inserted into the back of the first, which simplifies daisy-chaining test points without extra adapters. No additional accessories or software are included with the cord.

Voltage and current limits of the lead

The 2,000 V and 15 A ratings apply only to the lead assembly itself; the connected instrument or circuit may impose lower limits that must be observed. PVC insulation degrades above 130 degrees F, so the cord should not be used near sustained heat sources or in high-temperature chambers. The stacking feature adds mechanical height, which can be a constraint in dense terminal blocks or crowded panel layouts. This product contains chemicals identified under California Proposition 65 as causing cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

Will the 18 AWG PVC insulation need replacement after extended use?

The 18 AWG wire with PVC insulation is rated for 130 degrees F maximum operating temperature; inspect periodically for cracking or discolouration and replace if the insulation degrades.

What is the first limit reached when running continuous current through the stacking banana plugs?

The cord is rated for 15 A maximum current; sustained loads above that will exceed the conductor rating before the 2,000 V voltage limit becomes a factor.

How much heat do the nickel-plated steel plugs generate during all-day operation at rated load?

At the 15 A rating the nickel-plated steel plugs and 18 AWG conductors will warm up, but the PVC insulation is designed for continuous use up to 130 degrees F.
