Jefferson Lab's Workbench Projects

Operation

Snap the items you wish to test into the fuse holders and plug one end of the 18" long patch cord into the panel mount banana jack. Touching the free end of the patch cord to one of the test items will determine whether or not that item conducts electricity. If the material is a conductor, the circuit is completed and the corresponding LED lights up. Otherwise, the circuit remains open and the corresponding LED stays off.
