SureToe probe tip. The SureToe tip is a pointed
probe tip useful for probing in dense circuitry.
Attach the SureToe adapters the same way as
the push-in probe tips. Do not force the tip. Also,
be careful not to poke yourself with the sharp
probe tip. They can be used with any of the
socketed accessory leads.
Right
angle
adapter
Right-angle adapter. Use the right-angle
adapter for low-profile probing of 0.025 inch
diameter square pins.
The right-angle adapter allows the probe to lie flat
against a circuit board. This enables probing in
vertical circuits such as computer or communica-
tions backplanes, or in tight areas such as
between circuit cards.
The right-angle adapter can be used directly with
the probe head, or attached to the Y-lead adapter
or ground leads.
The right-angle adapter is attached the same way
as the push-in probe tip, and can be easily
removed by hand.
Y-lead
adapter
Y-lead adapter. Use the Y-lead adapter to
extend the physical reach of the probe and
ground when necessary. The Y-lead adapter
accepts any of the probe tips or adapters, and
can be pushed directly onto 0.025 inch pins.
When selecting the grounding connection,
maintain as short a ground path as possible.
Refer to page 20 for more information.
Y-lead
adapter
To attach the Y-lead adapter, gently press the
lead pins into the probe head tip and ground
receptacles. Using the black lead for ground is
recommended.
