Fluke AC285 Alligator Clip

The Fluke AC285 alligator clip is a test accessory rated CAT III 1000V and CAT IV 600V for safe electrical measurements. It suits electricians and technicians who need secure connections on conductors during verification or troubleshooting tasks.

Safety ratings and thermal limits

The CAT III 1000V and CAT IV 600V ratings define the overvoltage and transient protection the clip provides in normal use. No fan, radiator or active cooling is present, so noise and power draw are not applicable to this passive accessory.

Included hardware and usage impact

The clip ships as a single test lead accessory with no bundled software, kits or additional adapters. Its jaws accept standard test-probe tips, letting users attach it to existing Fluke leads without extra configuration.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the AC285 clip to a test lead without losing the CAT III 1000 V rating?

Screw the clip onto a compatible 4 mm banana plug lead; keep the jaws clean and fully closed on the conductor so the 1000 V CAT III / 600 V CAT IV rating remains valid.

What part of the AC285 clip wears out first and needs replacement?

The jaw springs and contact surfaces degrade with repeated opening; replace the clip when the grip feels loose or the metal shows pitting to maintain the 1000 V CAT III / 600 V CAT IV rating.

At what voltage does the AC285 clip reach its safety limit during continuous measurement?

The clip is rated for CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V; sustained use above those voltages exceeds its certified insulation and category protection.
