Oooh! You are filling me with hope!

Here's what we've done in the meantime which has "delayed" finishing the Tek 577 adapter fixture. This allowed us to "get what we needed done" with the 577 with the DIY Large Gator Clips and Small Clips shown.

The larger Gator clips were made by soldering a Banana post from a male Banana plug to a large Gator clip, the smaller clips were small clips, wires and Banana plugs. This was stuff we already had, so quickly solved our adapter/fixture problem at the time.

Best,

NF6X:
Very nice! Simple and functional.  :-+

Welcome to the club  :)

I've only got one official adapter (the BJT one mentioned), otherwise I've either been using short banana to alligator leads or connecting to external test jigs I made up with banana cables. Prices on used jigs are just stupid with shipping to Australia on top.

That said, I just got a handful of these boards made up and they arrived earlier today. The plan is to always have some of these base boards pre-wired so any time I need a different jig I just make a board with whatever sockets are required, connect it to one of these and stick it in a box.

NF6X:
Nice idea. I like it. Maybe I'll do something like that, too?
