DiversiTech Test Clip (steel 20A) B&r 5036

The DiversiTech 5036 is a steel test clip rated 20 amps, supplied for temporary electrical connections during diagnostic and troubleshooting work.

Test clips allow a technician to make a secure, hands-free connection to a terminal, wire, or component without permanent termination. In HVAC and refrigeration service this is routine: jumping a safety switch to confirm it is the open device, bypassing a pressure control during a diagnostic sequence, temporarily connecting a meter or recorder to a circuit, or powering a component on the bench to verify operation before installation.

Steel construction provides mechanical strength and spring tension that holds through vibration and repeated use, which matters when a clip must stay attached to a terminal inside a running condensing unit while readings are taken. The 20 amp rating allows use on load circuits rather than restricting the clip to low current signal work.

The safety context deserves emphasis. Temporary jumpers and test connections defeat protective devices by design, and a jumper left in place after a service call removes a safety function permanently. Established practice is to install test connections only while actively taking readings, to remain with the equipment while a safety is bypassed, and to remove every temporary connection before leaving the site.

Applications include HVAC and refrigeration diagnostics, electrical troubleshooting, appliance and automotive service, bench testing, and control panel commissioning.

Verify the clip rating suits the circuit voltage and current, inspect the jaws for spring tension and corrosion before use, and confirm insulation integrity where the clip contacts energized conductors.
