hard, sharp meter probes that can withstand being used to scratch components?

<< < (7/7)

Black Phoenix:
I remember that Fluke had some hardpoint probes, the TL75. That's their most basic tip set. Don't know how easy they leave a mark in the components if you want to scratch it but the tip is definitely difficult to bend (I had some laying around and tried and sure enough you need some pliers to damage the tip).

The other probe I use and it's definitely pointy, to the point (pun intended) I have to use tip sleeves to protect against damage on the case or physical injuries. The tips are very hard, being made of stainless steel. That's the TP220 that needs a the TL224 or equivalent 4mm shrouded leads to be used.

I don't know how much is needed to make the pointy tip get dull, since I don't use my DMM probes as a marking tool.

UPDATE: thhe tungsten electrodes were perfect.  these are the ones I bought : https://sunstonewelders.com/orion-micro-tig-welding-electrodes

and I can say that they are phenomenal. I shaved 2cm off the bottom and they outperform EVERY tip included with the pomona probes.

on a different note, the pomoina SS tips have a beveled rear end and make shite contact with the probes themselves, I think that might be the problem people are having with those, since the gold plated tips have a flat bottom

Thanks for the feedback. 

artag:
Doesm anyone make test probes that will accept the standard-sized spring-loaded probes used for ATE fixtures ?
They come in a big variety of tip types.
