Future-proof design gives the technical edge

July 2000 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

Hirschmann's test leads are distinguished by their high degree of functionality and a completely new design. The modular system can be put together in a multitude of different ways to meet the user's every requirement.

The new Hirschmann plugs and leads guarantee a reliable contact under at all times, including in extreme temperatures and under stresses of all kinds. The fact that they meet the high quality standards of IEC 1010/EN 61010 is of great importance. The test leads have also been structurally tested by the TöV. The user's peace of mind is further ensured by the use of top quality materials and special colour-coded indicators inside the case. These make it easy to spot any damage to the insulation, virtually at a glance.

Thanks to a special crimping and welding technique, the ready-assembled test leads guarantee high strain relief values even when used continuously. The plugs, which can be assembled as required, have a screw connector complying with IEC 1010. This means that the test leads can be assembled and arranged by the customers themselves, without special tools, to suit their specific requirements.

All the plugs are made of nonflammable material in accordance with UL V2. The Hirschmann laminated spring ensures that the plug can be pulled in and out a great many times. The test leads are safe up to 1000 V and have the CE mark.
