Abstract:
A test probe comprising:a first and a second elongated, generally planar, electrically conductive arm member, each of the first and the second arm member having: a pair of generally planar and parallel side surfaces extending along a longitudinal axis in a first plane; a front portion having an elongated slot extending through the arm member between the side surfaces and comprising a downwardly extending tip at a front end terminating in a probe end for contacting a circuit to be tested, the tip of the first arm member shorter than the tip of the second arm member; a rear portion movably affixable to a retaining block; and a central portion positioned between the front portion and the rear portion comprising means for connecting to a test circuit; wherein the first and the second arm members are relatively positioned in commonly oriented fashion with the second arm member above and generally coplanar with the first arm member in the first plane, the probe ends of the first and the second arm members generally coplanar in a second plane generally perpendicular to the first plane.
