Wire Replacement (P7313 Only)

If you need to resolder a HBW Tip-Clip wire lead, refer to the
instructions in the Wire Replacement Kit. This kit is located inside
the Accessory Kit box that came with the probe. The Wire
Replacement Kit includes the high temperature solder recommended
for use in replacing wire leads on the HBW Tip-Clips. The kit also
includes both replacement 8 mil wire and 4 mil wire, which is used
with smaller circuit board traces and vias.
