Test hook clip

This sttyle has been popular for decades. It says "solderable" which I int erpret to mean that you open it up and solder your lead wire to the obvious place. It will be a good test of your soldering skills as you learn to at tach your wire without melting the clip assembly (it can be done, but it ma y take you some practice).

That's because there isn't an internal part that attaches to you meter leads. You remove the cap and solder a lead to it inside. I have put crocodile clips on the other end of the lead on mine.

I was planning to use it for testing circuits, but I guess I can learn to h old two wires/chips together when I solder.

When I've used them, I straightened the hook which allowed it to come apart for soldering.

I forgot to mention that these are great for making temporary connections to DIPs and through-hole parts on 100-mil (25 micron) centers. They are nearly useless for surface-mounted parts.
