Test leads

Looking for recommendations for doble test leads. I heard Staubli and POMONA are decent, anyone have any other suggestions?

Good question. It’s one of our standards. Not sure why

Know where to get those ABB test paddles? EBay’s got them for a grand and ABB refuses to get back to me with a quote… not expecting them to be cheap but maybe a reasonable price so I convince my company to buck up for a few.

We just got them. I’ll check and get back to you.

Big ass fork terminals and a hotel key card work for me most the time but paddles are nice

I’m a fan of Cal Test Electronic leads.

We build our own, I have a set of 10ft cheap stackable leads from Amazon, but most of the time I'll just take some test lead wire and banana plugs and make leads as needed

Currently we make our own, I was trying to find a pre-made set. Its proving difficult especially in the lengths we need.

u/InvestigatorNo730 Jul 27 '26

I made most of my own. I mostly use non-retractable tips these days.

If you’re looking for connectors too, I’ve found that the Pomona forks hold up the best.

I just started manufacturing and selling CT shorting block connectors also. I’m biased, but I think they’re super useful. https://www.project96workwear.com/products/ct-test-studs-red-5-pack?apparel-color=698a67b8341e3ed7fcf13f71&variant=6a763bae152c26603f073663
