Contact head for electrically monitoring a plurality of points in a circuit

Claim 1

A contact head for simultaneously contacting a plurality of points in an electrical circuit, said head comprising: - a central hole and a rigid insulating support in the form of a parallelepiped and provided with a plurality of holes passing entirely through said support in a direction parallel to the length of said parallelepiped, and opening on two opposite surfaces of said support, said holes being distributed around the periphery of said support, - a plurality of pins each adapted for sliding in one respective of said holes, each pin having one of its two ends projecting from said support at one of said opposite surfaces, and its other end projecting from said support at the other surface and soldered to a connecting lead, - and a block of elastic material disposed against said other surface of the support, said block having a protuberance positioned within said central hole of said support, said block embedding said soldered ends of the pins and exerting an elastic action on said pins when the pins have their free ends pressed against said circuit.
