Abstract:
1. An electrical terminal test point for an electrical terminal having a contact point, wherein the electrical terminal is positioned in electrical continuity with at least one lead through the contact point, the electrical terminal test point comprising: a conducting mechanism configured for selective electrical connection to the contact point, wherein the electrical connection between the conducting mechanism and the contact point is selectively established and removed from the contact point without disrupting electrical continuity between the at least one lead and the electrical terminal through the contact point; and an attachment mechanism separate from the conducting mechanism and the electrical terminal, the attachment mechanism configured to secure the electrical terminal test point to the electrical terminal, wherein the attachment mechanism is non-conductive, wherein the attachment mechanism is configured to attach to the at least one lead associated with the contact point, wherein, when the attachment mechanism secures the electrical terminal test point to the electrical terminal, the attachment mechanism is configured to establish and maintain the electrical connection between the conducting mechanism and the contact point, and wherein the attachment mechanism comprises:
