Rod-L S002-05 Magnetic Grounding Cable/Probe

The Rod-L S002-05 is a magnetic grounding cable and probe assembly that establishes secure, reliable ground connections for electrical testing and manufacturing operations. A 5-foot cable terminates in a magnetic probe base designed for instant attachment to ferrous metal surfaces, ensuring positive electrical contact without mechanical fasteners. The magnetic base eliminates setup time while the probe geometry guarantees consistent low-resistance connections across repeated test cycles.

Technical Specifications
