Abstract
An electrical probe includes a base member and a cover member, the base member including a plurality of channels disposed therealong on an upper surface of the base member. The base member also includes a plurality of electrical terminals disposed in apertures below the channels, with resilient contact portions aligned along a front edge thereof. The probe is profiled for use with an electrical connector which has a retractable seal exposing portions of the terminals within the connector. The probe is aligned with the connector housing, the housing and probe cooperatively providing polarization to align the terminals within the probe with the individual insulated conductors which lead into the electrical connector and the cover member is placed over the base member to trap the insulated conductors between the base and the cover and resiliently bias electrical terminals of the probe against the extending portions of the connector terminals.
