Probe Tip Stabilization

The P6245 probe head has a stabilizing notch for use with 0.100 inch
spaced header pins. See the probe head detail on page 1- - 3.
As the probe is pressed onto the header pin, an adjacent pin can be
inserted into the probe's stabilizing notch. See Figure 2- - 6. This
prevents unnecessary force from being applied directly to the probe
tip or pins.

The signal-ground adapter then rests on the stabilized pin without a
risk of its moving out of place.
