Abstract
A probe tip for use with an inductive amplifier unit having an inductive generator circuit connected to an indicator, such as an acoustic transducer. The tip includes a substantially non-conducting inductive member having a distal end insertable into an opening of a communication jack housing contacts and having a keyway portion. The tip includes a conductive member having a first end portion at least partially encased inside the distal end of the inductive member and a second end portion extending outwardly away therefrom. The distal end has a key portion configured to be received inside the keyway portion of the jack. Engagement between the key member and the keyway member prevents lateral movement of the distal end across the contacts inside the opening. The second end portion is connectable to the circuit, which is configured to use the indicator to indicate to a user when the tip detects a signal.
