RS PRO Test Plug Cable Entry 4 to 7 mm, 240V AC, 5A, 1.5 m Cord Included 827-041

RS PRO 827-041 Test Plug is engineered for secure, efficient mains cable connection testing. This product features an adjustable cable entry range from 4 to 7 mm, making it suitable for various wire sizes encountered in laboratory and industrial applications. It operates at 240V AC and supports a maximum current of 5A, making it compatible with typical mains supply units. The integrated 1.5 meter cord offers flexibility, allowing testing to be done at a safe distance from the main power source.

The design incorporates a quick test block mechanism with a tough, impact-resistant, flame-retardant plastic body which ensures robust long-term usage. Insulated clips inside the connector are colour coded, streamlining wire identification and reducing risk during setup. When the connector is live, a neon indicator illuminates for clear operational feedback, while double pole switching via lid provides added safety by electrically isolating connection keys.

The plug leverages a quick test QT1 connector, enabling direct insertion of plugless leads into insulated clips when the lid is open. Closing the lid completes the circuitry and allows current to pass through safely to connected equipment. It also complies with recommended work regulations for electrical connections and should not be used for domestic equipment, adhering to safety standards.

This unit is especially suited for laboratory environments, test benches, and technical service areas where rapid, repeatable testing of cable connections is necessary. The housing, measuring 48 mm in height, 127 mm in depth and 60 mm in width, fits conveniently in workspaces and service modules.

Additional benefits include colour coded cable clips, power neon indicator for live status, and double pole switching via lid for advanced safety. The maximum supported cable diameter is 7 mm, minimum is 4 mm, and the supplied cord measures 1.5 meters for flexible handling. Durable against mechanical shocks and heat, it is well-suited for demanding technical environments.

Applications span laboratory diagnostics, test beds for equipment validation, and onsite service area troubleshooting, making the RS PRO 827-041 essential for technicians and engineers engaged in frequent cable testing.
