The
new TP-106 series of oval profile, color-coded printed circuit board test points
from Components Corporation represents a significant, yet simple, solution to
the board level testing of today's highly populated printed wiring boards. With
a choice of ten colors, TP-106 test point may be utilized as numeric points
to represent the standard electronic color code, enhance visibility, or designate
polarity. The oval loop design of the test point contact provides a profile
which stands above crowded circuitry, offers a positive anchor for spring loaded
clips or probe tips and is large enough to terminate conventional alligator
clips. These features enhance the reliability of obtaining correct test readings
while reducing the potential for damage to adjacent circuitry caused by shorted
test probes.
The color-coded standoff of the TP-106 is molded from 30% glass filled polyester
which is designed to withstand the temperatures of production wave soldering
processes and resist board cleaning solvents or chemicals. The oval contact
element is precision formed from matte tin over nickel plated phosphor bronze spring alloy,
and its unique leg design provides positive retention in the mounting hole during
assembly operations and soldering.
TP-106 test points are manufactured in a “breakaway” strip format
which allows them to be specified in any number of positions, from 1 to 30,
at 0.125", mounting centers. This exclusive design feature provides the
easy placement of multiple, tandem mounted test points in one assembly operation.
The TP-106 user has the option of procuring these units pre-cut to specified
position or obtaining them in full 30 position strips and cutting them to desired
number of tandem test points through use of a convenient hand tool.
