Product Information

Full details

The PeakTech TKS-4 multimeter test leads are an essential accessory for professional electricians, hobbyists, and technicians who require a reliable and safe connection for their measurement tasks. Featuring a generous 120cm length and high-grade safety insulation, these leads ensure versatility across most standard multimeters, though users should note that the rigid PVC construction may feel slightly less supple than silicone-based alternatives in sub-zero temperatures.

FAQs

Are these leads compatible with Fluke meters?

Yes, as long as your Fluke meter uses standard 4mm input jacks, these leads will work perfectly.

Can I use these for high-voltage testing?

Yes, they are rated for 1000V CAT III and 600V CAT IV, making them safe for high-voltage industrial and residential environments.

What is the maximum current these leads can handle?

The TKS-4 leads are rated for a maximum of 10A current capacity.

Are the probe tips replaceable?

No, these are fixed-tip leads and the tips are not designed to be replaced independently of the cable.

Are these leads silicone or PVC?

These leads are constructed with flexible PVC cable insulation.

What does the 18AWG rating mean?

18AWG refers to the thickness of the copper wire inside; it is a standard gauge that provides a good balance between flexibility and current-carrying capacity for test leads.

Troubleshooting

Intermittent readings while testing

Ensure the 4mm banana plugs are fully pushed into the multimeter sockets and check the contact points of the probes for dirt or oxidation.

Plug feels loose in the multimeter

Verify that your meter uses standard 4mm sockets. If the socket is worn, consider using a different port or checking if the plug needs a slight adjustment to the spring tension.

Visible damage to cable insulation

Do not attempt to repair with tape; for safety reasons, discard and replace the lead if the double-insulation layer is compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High safety rating (CAT III/IV) for professional use
  • Standard 4mm banana plugs offer wide compatibility
  • Sturdy 18mm plug length ensures a snug, secure fit
  • Sufficient 120cm length for versatile workspace movement

Cons

  • PVC cable material is less flexible than premium silicone leads
  • Does not include replaceable probe tips
  • May become stiff in very cold working conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the TKS-4 leads is straightforward: simply insert the 4mm banana plugs into the standard COM and input sockets of your multimeter. These leads are compatible with virtually any device featuring standard 4mm sockets.

To maintain their longevity, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Avoid Sharp Bends: While the PVC is durable, excessive bending at the connection points can stress the wire shielding over time.
  2. Clean Regularly: Wipe the probes and leads with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove conductive dust or oil.
  3. Inspect Before Use: Always check for cracks in the insulation or exposed wire before starting a measurement, especially in high-voltage environments.
  4. Proper Storage: Store coiled loosely; avoid wrapping the leads tightly around the meter, as this can lead to memory-set kinks in the PVC cable.
