These rigid and spring-loaded tips are replaceable. To change the probe tip, pull it straight

out of its contact socket along the axis of the probe. Once the probe tip is removed, the

new tip can be inserted into the contact socket along the axis of the probe. In order to

insert the probe tip completely into the housing, carefully press the probe tip against a

hard surface.

It is recommended that the spring tips be used with the ground blade as both the tips

and ground blade are spring-loaded and will maintain contact with the device under test

even when your hand moves slightly.

The Rigid/Spring tips and grounds can be mixed with no effect on performance. It is

simply a matter of personal preference. Spring loaded probe tips offer a method of probing

signals that is less susceptible to vibration or movement than traditional rigid tips. Many

users find it easier to use this type of tip. The spring loaded tips work when they are

either partially or fully compressed and are protected against over compression damage.

Both the spring tip and ground

blade are spring-loaded
