Right
angle
adapter
Adapter spring (10 ea). Use the adapter spring
for low-profile probing of 0.025 inch square pins.
The adapter spring allows the probe to lie at a
right-angle (flat against a circuit board). This
enables probing in vertical circuits, such as
computer or communications backplanes, or in
tight areas, such as between circuit cards.
The adapter can be used directly with the probe
head or attached to the Y-lead adapter or ground
leads.
The adapter is attached by pushing the tip into
the probe tip socket until it is seated. The adapter
spring can be easily removed by hand.
