An electrical test lead includes an insulated electrical cable having a
proximal end and a distal end, an electrical connector disposed at the
proximal end of the cable and connected to a test instrument, and an
electrically conductive magnetic probe disposed at the distal end. The
probe is adapted to magnetically attach to a test point in an electrical
system and to provide an electrical connection from the test point
through the probe, the cable and the connector to the test instrument.
Together, the test lead and the test instrument may be used as an
electrical test kit. The test lead may further include an additional
electrical test lead component magnetically attached, and electrically
connected, to the electrically conductive magnetic probe and extending
therefrom. An additional electrically conductive magnetic probe or a
non-magnetic electrical connector may be disposed at the distal end of
the additional electrical test lead component.
