Are you looking for a practical solution to quickly and safely perform electrical tests on vehicles? The insulated piercing test clips are specially designed for automotive professionals, mechanics and do-it-yourselfers who want to measure cables with confidence without damaging the insulation. Whether you're working on a fuel injector, sensors or other electronic components, this set of clips allows you to reach even tricky areas easily and with maximum control.
Easy testing without damaging wiring
The convenience of these piercing test clips lies in their unique design: you make contact with a wire without first having to strip or cut the insulation. This leaves the wire completely undamaged and functional while you take accurate measurements. Because you can determine the needle depth yourself by the force of insertion, you are sure to protect the cables.
Specifically designed for automotive purposes
These test probes are made for professional analysis of faults in, for example, engine management or sensors. Thanks to their compact shape and flexible spring mechanism, you can easily test in tight spaces, such as under the hood or behind the dashboard. Due to the fully insulated housing, there is no risk of unwanted grounding and your measurement results remain reliable.
Various applications and reliable performance
The insulated piercing test clips are compatible with standard 4 mm banana plugs. So you connect them effortlessly to commonly used test devices such as multimeters or oscilloscopes. They effortlessly pierce through insulation up to 3.5 mm thick (between 16 AWG and 23 AWG wires), suitable for automotive, electrical and industrial applications. The housing is made of rugged PA plastic, while the needle is made of copper- and nickel-coated stainless steel, contributing to durability and reliability.
Advantages of minimal damage and easy sealing
During use, only a tiny hole is made in the cable insulation. This is easily sealed to prevent later problems such as moisture or short circuits. They come in a set of two (one red clip and one black clip), allowing you to immediately see the difference between your measuring wires.
