Used WENTWORTH HOP #68017 for sale

A WENTWORTH HOP is a type of prober used in test and measurement applications. It is a tool used to measure the electrical parameters of devices, such as voltage, current and resistance. HOP consists of a handle, which is attached to a probe tip and is comprised of a variety of materials based on the device's application. The tip is usually made of a metal alloy and is designed for use with a variety of test fixtures. The probe tip is connected to the handle, sometimes via a metal clip or lug, and sometimes through various accessories. The handle and probe tip are typically separated by an insulated grip that prevents the operator from being shocked while testing the device. The metal clip or lug may be used to attach the probe tip to a metal plate or the test fixture, allowing for better and more accurate measurements. The tip is designed with a specific size, shape, and length to match the device being tested and is usually made of a combined metal alloy, usually a combination of stainless steel, brass, and tungsten. This enables the tip to be accurately and precisely placed over the device's electrical leads, reducing the risk of electrical shorts & shorts induced by incorrect placement. The handle serves as the base for the device being tested and is made from durable materials that are designed to be shockproof and withstand contact with solvents and substances. It is designed to fit comfortably in the operator's hand and is secured by a metal clip or lug. A heavy-duty spring helps to keep the handle securely in the user's hand, eliminating the possibility of slipping or jiggling which could potentially create inaccurate readings. Surrounding the handle is an insulated rubber grip which helps protect the user from electrical shock while testing the device. The grip is designed to be water-resistant and non-slip, so there is no need to worry about electric shocks as the user is manipulating the probe tip in its various positions. In addition to the handle, probe tip, and grip, a WENTWORTH HOP usually comes with an assortment of attachments - such as a hook for a multimeter, clips for a compensated loop power supply, or a lanyard for easy mounting and removal from the work surface. The range of applications for HOP is quite vast, from checking the insulation of electric motors to measuring the voltage and current of a photovoltaic cell. The design and precision of the tip makes it ideal for a wide range of uses, from simple testing to more complex applications. This versatility makes WENTWORTH HOP a must-have device for engineers and technicians in any field.
