Voltcraft IST 3002 Switchable Test Probe CAT II 1000 V 10 A 1.2 m Cable with Test Button

When measuring high-voltage circuits, safety and precision are paramount. The Voltcraft IST 3002 switchable test probe delivers both, featuring a retractable protective cap that reduces exposed tip length and a built-in test button for controlled measurements. With CAT II 1000 V and CAT III 600 V ratings, it is suitable for a wide range of electrical testing tasks.

Who is it for

Electricians, technicians, and hobbyists who need reliable test leads for multimeters and clamp meters. Ideal for troubleshooting electrical systems, verifying voltage presence, and performing continuity checks in industrial, commercial, and residential environments.

Main features

• Switchable protective cap: retract to expose only 2 mm tip for CAT III 600 V safety, extend for full tip and CAT II 1000 V rating.
• Built-in test button allows convenient one-handed operation for taking measurements.
• Double insulated PVC cable (1.2 m) with 4 mm banana plugs for secure connection to most multimeters.
• Nickel-plated brass probe tips ensure excellent conductivity and durability.
• Set includes two probes: red and black for easy polarity identification.
