ABSTRACT:
For applying test probes (40) to socket contact elements (92) of a standard electrical connector (52), a test probe assembly comprises an adaptor (2) carrying the test probes (40), and latched into a standard electrical connector insulating housing (48) for mating with the electrical connector (52) so that each test probe (40) engages one of the contact elements (92) of the connector (52). The adaptor (2) can also be latched to the housing (72) of the connector (52), with the contact elements (92) absent therefrom, to provide a second form of the test probe assembly for mating with the standard insulating housing (48) to probe male contact elements when provided in that housing (48). Thus apart from the housing (4) of the adaptor (2) no additional mouldings are needed to provide for the probing of two different kinds of mating connectors.
