Test Points

The new TP-104 Series takes Components Corporations highly-efficient and economical loop configured test point design one step further, by adding a plastic standoff that boosts visibility and allows for easy polarization and identification. The TP-104 incorporates all of the design features of all Component's test points - solid non-slip grip of test clips and probes, low profile, single hole wavesolderable mounting, and the elimination of skin punctures suffered by users of wrap posts as substitute test points. The TP-104 is furnished in 30-position breakaway strips with 0.125" centers that make storage, handling and even tandem installations a snap. Component's special hand tool #1040 further enhances board mounting with test point separating, gripping and positioning functions accomplished in one easy motion. Standard TP-104 colors are red and black, with special colors available on order. The TP-104 can be ordered pre-cut to any number of positions up to 30. Individual and tandem units hold securely when inserted in .062" diameter holes for soldering operation. The rectangular passage in the TP-104's molded standoff maintains wire form alignment, important in tandem installations.

The TP-105 series test point offers a functionally superior alternative to other means of board level trouble shooting, particularly .025" square header posts. While featuring a loop profile for positive test probe retention, this product is available in any combination of positions, from one to forty, at .100" centers and fits in the popular .035" diameter hole size. The above board profile is substantially below that of headers and other devices used as test points. Thus, a re-fit can be accomplished without any printed circuit board layout re-design costs, while significantly reducing test point height and improving function. Visibility and identification are significantly enhanced by the choice of ten standard colors for the TP-105 series, representing all of the variations of the industry color code. The TP-105 may be purchased pre-cut to any specified number of positions from one to forty. Mounting leg design insures positive retention in the circuit board during soldering operations.
