Abstract
A station for testing electrical components is provided with spaced pairs of cooperative lead-engageable contacts, these pairs being yieldingly openable to arrest a lead arriving therebetween for the test. At least one contact of each pair has an abrading edge which may be shaped to penetrate transversely any wire oxidation of the lead to obtain accurate electrical measurement though requiring only low contact force.
