Let's see if the wires are any better than the others. |

Silicon/gold for sure. :-+ |

Tend to use these very cheap-silicone'ish leads & probes from the Shenzhen flee market... sometimes they are labeled Glegee or Hantek or.. Its these below, cost around 4 US delivered incl 25%. EU VAT.. - its mainly because I like the open-end banana plugs, so I can attach needles, probes, or crocodile clips, - the resistance was super good enough for my simple use-case. The multimeters they are intended for are low cost-DMMs, but still, a step-up versus the cheap plastic leads/probes there normally is with budget meters, like below, that all are under 40 US.. my main priority is a banana interface, for the diversity of so many accessories, even very tiny SMD grippers with an adapter, or connect or stack with other test gear, prefer the flexibility. --- End quote --- --- End quote --- --- End quote --- --- End quote --- --- End quote --- --- End quote --- --- End quote --- --- End quote --- |
