Replacing TEKPROBE Interface Pins

TEKPROBE interface pins can stick and fail to make contact afte r
time.Periodicallychecktosee that each of the interface pins move
freelyandfullyextendsoutoftheinterface.If any pin fails to move
freely and fully extend, it should be replaced.
To remove a TEKPROBE interface pin, firmly grasp the pointed tip
with pliers and pull the pin out of the connector. See Figure 28.
No tools are required to install a replacement pin. Insert a new pin
into the connector socket as far as possible using finger pressure. If
necessary, seat the pin into the connector by pressing the tip gently
but firmly against a hard surface, such as a wood block or table top.
