components or wires with leads that are
1.01 mm (0.04 inches) in diameter or
smaller. With today's miniature IC- and
component- packaging techniques, these
clips can make probing challenging devices
much easier.
Most users prefer to attach the clips to the probe via the
Y- lead adapter as shown in the picture below. Press the back
of the clip to extend the grasping hook and then release to
tighten the hook around the component you are testing.
CAUTION
The clips have an ambient operating temperature range of
–20°C to +80°C
(–4°F to +176°F). This is a slightly reduced range compared to the probe.
