Pair of red and black silicone test leads with banana plugs, six inches long

B&K Precision

B&K Precision TL 8 Test Leads 400V 18AWG Silicone 6in

SKU CH-G6KN-8GZ6T

Pair of 18 AWG silicone-insulated test leads with banana plugs rated for 400 V and 1 A, 6 in long for probing small SMT components

  • TypeMicrometers
  • Silicone insulation stays flexible in tight spaces
  • 400 V rating protects during live measurements
  • 18 AWG wire handles up to 1 A safely
  • 6 in length reaches dense SMT pads easily
  • .157 in banana plugs fit standard meter jacks

Test Leads for SMT Measurement

These B&K Precision test leads are built for technicians who need to probe small surface-mount capacitors, resistors and inductors. The 6-inch silicone-insulated cables stay flexible on a crowded bench and terminate in standard banana plugs for direct connection to LCR meters, capacitance meters or digital multimeters. They are rated for 400 V and 1 A maximum.

Red and Black Coding Prevents Cross-Connection

The pair ships with one red and one black lead so polarity is obvious at a glance. Each probe tip is sized for dense SMT pads, letting you reach component legs without shorting adjacent pads. Silicone insulation resists heat and remains pliable in cold environments.

0.157-Inch Banana Plug Fits Standard Meter Jacks

The meter-end plug diameter is the critical dimension that decides compatibility; if your instrument uses a different jack size these leads will not seat securely. The 18 AWG conductors carry the rated current without excess voltage drop for the intended low-power measurements.

Questions about this item

How often will the 18 AWG silicone-insulated leads need replacing under normal bench use?

The 18 AWG silicone insulation resists heat and abrasion, so the leads only need replacement if the banana plugs loosen or the wire jacket shows cuts or cracking after extended use.

What stops me from pushing more than 1 A through the test leads during a long measurement session?

The leads are rated for a maximum current of 1 A; exceeding this limit will cause the 18 AWG conductors to overheat and the silicone insulation to degrade.

Do the banana plugs or the silicone wire get hot when the leads carry 1 A continuously all day?

At the rated 1 A the 18 AWG copper conductors run warm but stay within safe limits; the silicone insulation and 0.157 in banana plugs are designed to handle this load without excessive heat buildup.
