A guide for tip to transmission path contact includes a guide insulator
having at least one passageway defined therein. Each passageway has a tip
passageway end and a transmission path passageway end. The tip passageway
end is suitable for at least partially accommodating the tip of a probing
head. The transmission path passageway end is suitable for at least
partially accommodating a transmission path of a circuit board component.
The tip contacts a transmission path through a passageway when the
transmission path is positioned in the transmission path passageway end
and the tip is positioned within the tip passageway end.
