Abstract
A test probe device is attachable to alligator clips of test equipment for establishing electrical engagement between an electrical contact supported within an insulative housing, which is accessible through an opening therein and the test equipment. The alligator clip includes a pair of actuatable jaws defining a connection region therebetween. The test probe device includes an elongate probe member insertable into the housing through the opening for electrical engagement with the contact. An attachment member is electrically coupled to the probe member. The attachment member is attachable to the alligator clip at a location remote from the connection region thereof, permitting the alligator clip to be used without removing the test probe device.
