General Purpose – Replaceable Probes are designed for typical automotive board test and standard continuity test, contacting industry norm test points such as leads, vias and pads. The Threaded Probe/Receptacle is the most secure method and typically is used in wire harness testing to guarantee retention of probe in receptacle during test of automobile or aircraft harnesses.
General Purpose – Non-Replaceable Probes are designed for industrial applications where typical probe life meets or exceeds those of the end-use product. A non-replaceable probe is designed to be permanently fixed in the retention plate and not removed without breaking the electrical connection or damaging the retention plate.
“Step” or “Hat” Probes use a “step” to control the distance of the probe tip’s entry into a wire harness connector housing.
Switch Probes are designed primarily for “presence/electrical” test applications such as detecting the absence or presence of contacts within a wire harness connector.
High Current & High-Frequency Probes are designed for powered functional testing of connectors, wire harnesses, modules and other devices drawing up to 50A.
Battery Probes typically are contained in modules where consistent, long-life, low-resistance, compliant electrical and mechanical connections are required.
