Two extensive and useful reference files have been placed in the Archive section of the TechLink website. To locate them, look at the top of any month's home page (any language). Locate the Archive tab and click. Then scroll down to locate the files described below.
TIP:Â These files are in PowerPoint format.
J-35616 Test Probe Kit History
The original J-35616 Test Probe Kit was shipped as an essential tool in 1986 and has been updated several times.
This presentation (25 slides) shows every update, from the J-35616 Test Probe Kit's introduction in 1986 to the current J-35616-C Test Probe Kit (fig. 12).Â
TIP:Â Proper test probe information is now contained within the Connector End View of almost every connection system in SI.
Today's connection systems use many types of very small terminal sizes which can be damaged if the wrong test probe is used.
J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit Update Procedure
The original J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit was shipped as an essential tool in 1987 and has been updated numerous times.
As time has gone by, the updates have become more complex. It can be very confusing to get the J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit properly organized when left undone for more than two years.
IMPORTANT:Â Your J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit must be updated to the present J-38125-F level before the 2006 update, which is scheduled to ship at the end of 2006. Due to obsolescence, a number of tray cavities will have to be emptied and new terminals will be supplied to fill the vacancies. If your kit is not in order, this will be a very difficult task for you to accomplish.
This presentation (82 slides) shows every step in the history of the J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit. But more importantly, it shows you how to organize all of the updates, resulting in the present J-38125-FÂ (fig. 13).Â
SI directs you to a specific tray to find the service terminal you need, and itemizes the specific crimp tool(s), terminal release tool or test probe for each terminal. If the J-38125 Terminal Repair Kit is not organized as this presentation shows, it will take you much longer to locate what you need.
TIP:Â Service terminal information is now contained within the Connector End View of almost every connection system in SI.
