Abstract
A probe tip adapter for a measurement probe has at least a first electrically conductive element with a bore at one end and a probing contact formed on the other end. The bore of the electrically conductive element has an electrically conductive elastomer disposed therein having sufficient tensile strength, compression set, hardness, deflection force, elongation and percent recovery for repeatably securing the electrically conductive element to the probing tip of the measurement probe. The probing contact may be configured as a probing tip having a shaft that tapers at one end to a point and as a square pin adapter with a bore formed in the electrically conductive element that receives a spring contact. The probe tip adapter is useable with both single ended and differential measurement probes.
