The XY-AK2B-40E is a heavy-duty, fully insulated alligator (crocodile) clip engineered for safe and reliable electrical measurements in high-voltage environments. It is part of the XY-AK2B series but features an extra-large 40mm jaw opening, making it suitable for securely clamping onto larger components, thick cables, bus bars, and battery posts that standard clips cannot manage.
Its full safety insulation meets stringent international standards, providing CAT III 1000V protection against accidental contact with live metal parts and transient overvoltages in building installation environments (like distribution boards and circuit breakers). The clip ensures a secure, low-resistance connection with its strong spring tension and serrated teeth. It features a standard 4mm safety socket connection, allowing it to be easily integrated with safety-rated 4mm banana plug test leads used with multimeters, power supplies, and other testing equipment. The XY-AK2B-40E is an essential tool for professionals requiring safety and a large clamping capacity.
Key Features
- Extra-Large Jaw Opening: Offers a substantial 40mm (approx. 1.57 inches) maximum jaw capacity for securing connections on large conductors or terminals.
- Full Safety Insulation: Provides complete protection over the metal clip body, ensuring safe operation at high voltages and minimizing the risk of shorts.
- High Safety Rating: Rated for CAT III 1000V AC/DC (1KVAC), confirming its suitability for use in permanent building installations.
- Strong, Secure Grip: Features a robust spring and serrated teeth for excellent mechanical hold and reliable electrical contact, even on irregularly shaped components.
- 4mm Safety Socket: Equipped with a standard 4mm female socket connection, compatible with all standard shrouded and unshrouded 4mm safety test leads.
- Durable Construction: Built with rugged, high-impact materials designed for professional use and long-term reliability in demanding environments.
