IC Caps

The IC caps fit over the probe tip and provide a convenient
self-aligning connection to an IC's pins. This helps main-
tain contact on small fine pitch legs and prevents shorting
adjacent pins by preventing the probe tip from sliding
between the legs of the component.
The different colored IC caps correspond to different
pitches as listed in Table 2 on page 10.
Figure 6 shows how pitch is measured and how the caps
fit around the IC pins and where the probe tip comes
through the cap. IC caps are compatible with both the
rigid and spring loaded tips.
