[Shop-talk] test lead connectors

[Matt]

John,I have a couple of light duty leads that have a small copper wire hook
that allow easy connection to an open wire.I have successfully bent the tip a
little to allow 90 degree operation but don't know if there is enough room
within a cannon plug... Home made small tube may be the best bet.

for lack of a better term... that's what I need.   Recently in the past I've
had to do some testing of equipment and the only access was thru it's
connector.... the connector was approx 3/8" wide and 3/4" long with 8 pins...
that mated to a similar constructed plug (female)

the test point was inside a piece of equipment with very little room and it
was nearly impossible to get to.  When I tried to hold my test lead on the
pin
my hand was blocking my view and it was impossible to get two leads in that
small connector and get both hands in the hole to hold them.

so... I';m looking for some test lead connectors that would resemble a sleeve
(or female end) that would slip over the connector pins much like the mating
connector might... I guess I could buy a matching connector and butcher it up
or build a test cable from it.... but it's probably a one time test and not
worth the time of $$$...

anyone ever seen this type connector ???  know of a source other than
homemade
???  I'm not even sure what to call them to do a search on them.

thanks
John
