Title: Searching for a specific type of test clip
Post by: justanothername on April 20, 2022, 02:41:49 pm
Hi All!
Some time ago I inherited a bunch of test gear from a hobbyist. These two test clips came with the lot.
They are by far the best clips I've ever used. They are tweezer style self closing clips made from painted spring steel. The spring tension is very strong.
The hold onto the finest contacts as well as to big pins like nothing I've seen. I really want to get more of these clips.
If anyone has some or can tell me where to buy them, I'll be very grateful.
See attached picture.
Thanks!
M.

I know of "Hirschmann" with the same mechanism, but looking a bit differently with links from two german shops:

Thank you, that is a good find.
Although, in this model, the cable is entering the clip sideways, which seems unstable to me.
Based on the magic words "fein-abgreifklemme", I found a weird website where someone sells exactly the clips I need:
http://sites.prenninger.com/verkaufe/steckverbinder/laborsteckverbinder (http://sites.prenninger.com/verkaufe/steckverbinder/laborsteckverbinder)
The order code from distrelec is long gone, but I think they may be manufactured by Schnepp.
