Red Piercing Test Probe for Multimeters

This red piercing test probe connects to multimeter leads equipped with 4 mm sheathed banana plugs. It is rated for a maximum current of 10 A and a maximum voltage of 1000 V AC/DC. The probe carries a CAT III 1000 V safety rating and features a steel tip with a 0.18 in jaw opening. Insulation is made from PA6 material.

Suited for Technicians Needing Insulation Piercing

The probe is designed for users who must contact conductors without stripping insulation. Its 0.18 in opening limits use to wires that fit within that jaw size. Buyers who need a larger jaw opening or a different tip material should look at other models. The CAT III rating covers fixed installation measurement categories.

Sustained Load Behaviour Within Rated Limits

When used continuously at the rated 10 A and 1000 V, the probe maintains its CAT III 1000 V insulation performance. The steel tip and PA6 insulation are constructed to withstand the specified electrical and thermal stresses. Operation beyond the stated current or voltage ratings is not supported.

Questions about this item

Do I need multimeter leads with 4 mm sheathed banana plugs to use this probe?

Yes — the probe is designed for multimeter test leads that have 4 mm sheathed banana plugs.

Will the steel tip and 0.18 in jaw opening grip the conductors in my older harness?

The steel tip and 0.18 in jaw opening are sized to clip onto insulated wires of that diameter.

How can I verify the CAT III 1000 V rating is active after I connect it?

The red insulation and CAT III 1000 V marking on the probe body confirm the rating when the probe is properly seated on the leads.
