These are Pomona 5000 Volt 36 in banana patch cords,do you think they would be low enough resistance?

With such a high voltage rating, most of the diameter is going to be insulation. So the actual copper will be rather less then with standard test leads.

If you look for high voltage or high current test leads connectors in good quality, take a look at the Swiss company:

Stäubli / MC / Multicontact

In my experience they are one of the best.


There are 3 kinds of people in this world, those who can count and those who can not.

Maybe there is room to use the standard molex mini-fit connectors used by video cards?
Being mass produced headers, you can buy them cheap, and you can also buy the connectors cheap, same for crimping tools.   

For example use a pci-e 6 or 8 pin connector, either right angle or straight up ... you have 3 awg18/awg16 pairs of wires for low voltage drop and contact resistance, and you can get mass produced 6/8 pin pci-e extensions cables or make your own.

example: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/molex/0455580003/3311349

Could have two side by side and thick traces connecting each row  for "pass through"  ... first is input, second is output ... or the other way around ...
