Title: CHAUVIN ARNOUX France 2021~2026 CAT IV 1000 HH DMM test leads P01295453Z
Post by: Kiriakos GR on October 18, 2026, 11:16:17 AM

Chauvin Arnoux since 2021 it appears having their own offering of CAT IV 1000 (EN61010), 15A Silicon wires for modular test leads.
Cable length: 1.5m

Chauvin Arnoux P01295453Z this is their part code for Silicon wires, while they have also a similar product this with PVC insulation.

Modular test leads these require and 2mm probes, at that point Chauvin Arnoux did something weird.

Chauvin Arnoux P01295460Z  This offering of 2mm probes, this supporting 15A, CAT II 300V.
 
Chauvin Arnoux this belong at the brands them be difficult to communicate with, especially with their marketing team.
Their products pricing, this appears at  Medium to High Range.
Nowadays other branded competitors, they follow pricing beyond of any reasonable limits.

In conclusion,
I am still hesitating to offer a solid recommendation in-favor these Chauvin Arnoux Modular leads.
The company does not offer in depth product specifications.
AWG of the wires?
Manufacturing origin?
Dedicated product flyers?

With extreme difficulty I did succeed finding this attached collection of images.
Products availability this is not wide.
The only positive comment,  Chauvin Arnoux Modular test leads, cables+probes  they are competitive priced VS these Agilent / Keysight leads,  product design of 2012.

It appears that product packaging this be 16 years old. 
And I would expect C.A. France, this to be more active at products marketing.

But its never too late for them to change, their poor strategy.

I do believe that even these test leads they are sourced from Taiwan.
DER EE Electrical Instrument Co., Ltd

Along of vast majority of C.A. France, HH test tools, clamp meters, HH DMM, and test leads.

In conclusion, C.A. France secret, this is not a secret for us in European union.

DEREE Electrical Instrument Co., Ltd,....  I do not think that they actuality make tests leads.
I am aware of three OEM factories in Taiwan, manufacturing of tests leads.

But yes, visually, they are similarities at the wire strain relief part.
