How to restore multimeter probes
The wires of multimeter probes break over time. As a result, they need to be replaced or repaired. Restoring probes is not at all difficult, and it is also fast and free.
What you will need:
- soldering iron;
- pliers;
- tape or tape.
Probe recovery process
The essence of the repair is to take the central whole part of the wire and solder it to the tips of the plug and probe. To do this, in places where the core is broken, you need to cut off the insulation and separate the solid part. It should definitely be checked for breaks.
Next, a heated soldering iron tip is applied to the tip of the plug.
After warming up, it will come out easily if you pull it with pliers.
One end of a whole part of the wire is stripped of insulation, then inserted into an empty plug insulator.
At the output, the removed tip is soldered to it.
Then he is put back in the isolation ward.
Next, you need to remove the tip of the probe from the handle. This is done without heating. The wire is then threaded through the handle and soldered to it.
To put everything back together, tape or tape is wound around the wire, and a handle is pulled on top. After this, the probes will work like new.
The very design and materials of cheap probes will not allow their long-term use one way or another. Therefore, it is better to purchase reliable probes with protection against bending - http://alii.pub/5l3qrv
