Power Rail Probe Browser Tips
The solid tips and spring-loaded tips are replaceable.
Spring loaded power rail probe browser tips offer a
method of probing signals that is less susceptible to
vibration or movement than traditional rigid tips.

spring loaded tips work when they are either partially
or fully compressed and are protected against over compression damage.
To change the N7023A power rail probe browser tip,

the axis of the N7023A power rail probe browser. In order to insert the N7023A
power rail probe browser tip completely into the housing, carefully press the
browser tip against a hard surface.
