Abstract
A test probe for testing electronic circuits is provided with a flexible conductive pad disposed at the end of the test probe. The flexible conductive pad is resilient so that when it makes physical and electrical contact with an electronic circuit, it compresses and does not damage either the electrical circuit or the probe itself.
