Probe Tip Test Points

Youcan solder t he push-in probe tip or a 0.025 inch square pin to a

circuit, to be used as a temporary test point. See Figure 10.

Solder the push-in probe tip onto a lead or pin with a low-power

soldering iron. Press the probe head onto the push-in probe tip to

make a measurement. Pull the probe head off of the push-in probe tip

when you are done.

Youcan rem ove and reuse the push-in probe tip by desoldering it

from the circuit, and soldering it into a nother circuit in the future.

NOTE. Do not usepieces of solid-core copper wire as test points. If

the wirebreaks off in the probetip socket, it may be impossible to

removethe wire, and it will preventinsertion of other accessory tips.
