Parrot Hook Clips Models
PARROT INVENT – SOMETHING WAS MISSING BEFORE ®
PARROT™ Test Leads Hook Clips Models are the most reliable an precise mini grabbers test leads characterized by:
A) The size and shape of the body
PCX Parrot™ Clip
- The PCX Parrot™ Clip is suitable for multimeter probes due to:
1) the 1000 V Cat III voltage insulation according to IEC-1010-231
2) commodity to handle, point and grip on various places and devices
3) easiness to assemble, disassemble and solder to the lead
- Available with tip sizes: W2 (2mm), W3 (3mm) and W4 (4mm).
- PCX model are much demanded for multimeter test leads.
PCM Parrot™ Clip
- The PCM is a mini hook clip, suitable for many connections like multimeter probes, jumper leads (cable with one clip at each end), oscilloscope ground, etc.
- The PCM is complying to 600 V Cat II voltage insulation according to IEC-1010-231.
- The PCM is easy to assemble and disassemble by inserting a screwdriver at its back and solder to the lead.
- A very special application of the PCM is for the model with the W1 tip to be used as a SMD Probe and Clip.
- Available with tip sizes: W1 (1mm), W2 (2mm) and W3 (3mm), voltage insulation 600 V Cat II.
PCS-MB Parrot™ Clip
- The PCS – MB has mother (female) banana plug for connection a 4 mm (male) banana plug.
- The PCS – MB hook clips are suitable for activities where a large variety of connections are needed and different clip sizes and models are to be used.
- The PCS-MB can be used for up to 400V.
- Available with tip sizes: W1 (1mm), W2 (2mm), W3 (3mm) and W4 (4mm).
B) The size of the tip – width of the metal tip, width of the hook and diameter of the hooked rod
The metal tip of the Parrot Clips is a bras tube with an oval shape and hole, cut at a sharp angle of 45°.

C) Connection type to the lead
1) Solder (Parrot Clips) are easy to disassemble by inserting a screwdriver at the end of the body and twisting it. Then the lead is soldered on the metal prolongation of the tip, inside the body.
2) MB – mother banana for connection with a 4 mm banana plug Banana connection (MB) to the lead with a banana plug is available only for the PCS-MB Parrot Clip
