A new family of solder-assembly 4mm Safety Banana Plugs and Jacks has been launched by Cal Test Electronics to complement its existing line of solderless connectors. These plug and jack connectors provide a fast, easy way to build or repair custom patch cords in the field, office or lab.

Designed to provide protection for both technician and test equipment, selected plugs and jacks can be rated to 1,000 V CAT III per IEC61010-031, when properly assembled to equally rated test lead wire.

They are important for anyone that uses DMMs and other equipment with safety or sheath connectors. Each connector features a snap-together plastic housing and plated metal contact.

A unique contact design allows for the gripping of the test lead wire's insulation, which is a requirement of IEC61010-031. To insure user protection, each plug has an insulated tip and its contact is made of beryllium copper for a long working life.

When assembled in accordance with instructions and using a rated test lead wire (Cal Test also offers IEC rated Silicone or PVC jacketed test lead wire), a completed lead can be rated from 12 A to as high as 36 A, depending on the wire used.

All five connectors come with Cal Test Electronics' 1-year warranty and are available for immediate delivery
