ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses an electrical test probe having a side arm member attached to a main probe element at an angle less than 90 degrees. The length of the side arm is such that the end of the side arm does not make contact with surfaces being probed by the main probe tip. The side arm aids in the measurement of circuit component leads, pins and wires without causing short circuits when measuring closely spaced circuit board traces.
