RS PRO Black 2.5 mm² Hook Up Wire, 462/0.08 mm, 5m, Silicone Rubber Insulation

RS PRO Test Lead Wire

Introducing the RS PRO test lead cable, ideal for use across a wide variety of electrical power, lighting and internal wire testing applications. The flexible test lead wire can be used for reliable cable connections to digital multimeters to ensure an accurate reading. By using this RS PRO high-quality range of single-core test lead cables, the installation wires can be easily colour coded by using the different sheath colours available in the range, dependant on the installation terminals being used. In addition to this, the robust and carefully manufactured tinned copper conductor ensures optimum reliability and performance, regardless of the application the wires are being used for. Silicone insulation to the wire provides brilliant thermal stability meaning it can maintain a great electrical performance in high and low temperatures which means that it can hook up to electronics even in the harshest environments. The silicone insulation is excellent in high temperatures, even withstanding contact with a soldering iron, and can be draped over a hot manifold without sustaining damage.
