Probe tip test points
Probe tip test points
The push-in probe tip or a 0.025-inch square
pin can be soldered into a circuit to be used as
a temporary test point:
1.
Solder the tip onto a lead or pin with a
low-power soldering iron.
2.
Press the probe head onto the tip to take
a measurement.
3.
Pull the probe head off when you are done.
Quick tip
The probe tip may be removed and reused by
desoldering it from the circuit, and soldering it
into another circuit in the future.
NOTE.
Do not use pieces of solid-core copper wire as test points. If the wire breaks off in the probe tip socket, it may be impossible
to remove the wire, and it will prevent insertion of other accessory tips.
