Abstract
A test probe is provided for probing signal information on a back-drilled plated through hole connector formed in a printed circuit board, where the test probe includes a conductive probe body with a distal tip region extending a predetermined minimum coverage length (L) that is longer than a recess depth dimension (D) for a recessed plating layer formed in the back-drilled plated through hole connector with an elastomer test probe tip formed around the distal tip region and having a total tip width (W) which is compressed when inserted into the recessed plating layer formed in a back-drilled plated through hole connector, thereby establishing a conductive path between the conductive probe body and the recessed plating layer.
