Probe Tip Test Points

The push-in probe tip or a 0.025 square pin can be soldered into a
circuit to be used as a temporary test point. See Figure 2- - 5.
Solder the tip onto a lead or pin with a low-power soldering iron.
Press the probe head onto the tip to make a measurement, and then
pull the probe head off when you are done.
The probe tip may be removed and reused by desoldering it from the
circuit, and soldering it into another circuit in the future.

NOTE. It is not recommended that pieces of solid-core copper wire be
used as test points. If the wire breaks off in the probe tip socket, it
may be impossible to remove the wire, and it will prevent insertion of
other accessory tips.
