Do not use them\u003cbr\u003e\n  on CAT III or CAT IV circuits (mains distribution boards, industrial\u003cbr\u003e\n  panels, outdoor installations) unless your meter and the situation are\u003cbr\u003e\n  both rated for it.\u003cbr\u003e\n- **20A is a short-duration rating.** High-current ranges on most meters are\u003cbr\u003e\n  limited to around 10–15 seconds of measurement followed by a cool-down\u003cbr\u003e\n  period. Check your meter's manual.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Inspect the insulation, plugs and tips before each use. Do not use damaged\u003cbr\u003e\n  leads.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Fit the tip covers when storing so the points don't cause injury or short\u003cbr\u003e\n  something out in the box.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes when measuring.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n### FAQ\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n**Will these fit my multimeter?**\u003cbr\u003e\nThey fit any meter with standard 4mm banana input jacks – that covers the\u003cbr\u003e\nvast majority of handheld digital multimeters. If your meter uses a\u003cbr\u003e\nproprietary or recessed connector, check the jack diameter first.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n**Are they really gold plated?**\u003cbr\u003e\nThe tips are copper with a gold-coloured plating. It's there to keep the\u003cbr\u003e\ncontact surface from oxidising, not to carry more current.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n**Can I use them for 20A continuously?**\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. 20A is the maximum rating, and on virtually all meters the high-current\u003cbr\u003e\nrange is timed. Use the 10A\/20A jack only for short readings and let it cool\u003cbr\u003e\nbetween measurements.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n### Package Includes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n- 1 × red test lead with probe and tip cover\u003cbr\u003e\n- 1 × black test lead with probe and tip cover","brand":"DIYMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53517098287415,"sku":"HLEADS","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0894\/5562\/4503\/files\/57_14bebe4a-12cf-4240-8ecd-4d06b2adf085.jpg?v=1793844195","url":"https:\/\/www.diymars.com\/products\/multimeter-test-leads-85cm-20a-1000v","provider":"DIYMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
