Fluke BP881, BNC to Male Double Banana Plug For Use With 8846A

The Fluke BP881 adapter is intended to connect BNC-terminated test leads or patch cords to standard multimeter banana plug inputs. It turns a BNC cable into two male banana plugs, enabling compatibility with multimeters and test instruments that accept banana leads. This makes BP881 a useful accessory whenever BNC-equipped probes, sensors, or test leads must interface with legacy or existing instruments that don’t provide a BNC port, such as older DMMs, insulation testers, or panel meters.

Standout Features and Benefits of Buying the Fluke BNC to Male Double Banana Plug for 8846A

• The adapter is rated for up to 500 VRMS, making it suitable for most common lab- and field-level voltage-testing applications.
• Its banana plugs are nickel-plated, beryllium-copper, chosen for low contact resistance and reliable conductivity, ensuring stable and accurate readings.
• The BNC shell is plated to resist tarnishing, maintaining good contact even after repeated use or in workshop environments.
• Designed for “hands-free” testing setups, once connected, you can leave the leads in place and perform measurements without holding the connection.
• The operating temperature is specified up to +50 °C (122 °F), making it suitable for use in standard indoor and workshop environments.

What Sets this Product Apart?

The BP881 adapter saves time and simplifies testing when you have BNC-equipped test leads but need to interface with banana-plug instruments. Instead of sourcing custom cables or an entirely new measurement setup, you can reuse existing BNC leads, reducing costs, waste, and lead time. The solid metal contacts and plating ensure long-lasting reliability even in demanding environments, while the modest voltage rating covers all routine maintenance, calibration, and verification tasks.

Broad Range Application

• Connecting BNC-output probes (e.g. insulation testers, high-impedance probes) to a multimeter or meter that expects banana leads.
• Enabling legacy equipment or meters without BNC ports to use modern BNC-terminated test leads without rewiring or buying new lead sets.
• Quick test setups in workshop or calibration labs where swapping between different meters and adapters is frequent.
• Situations requiring hands-free or bench-style testing where a stable, fixed banana connection is more practical than loose BNC leads.
• Field or shop environments needing reliable conductivity and low-resistance contact for accurate, repeatable readings.
