Continuity Probe
When it comes to creating custom test equipment a continuity probe is essential as it can tell you if two points on a circuit are electrically connected. However, using a simple light or buzzer circuit can not only be ineffective but can also be potentially dangerous to the circuit under test. This is where the MitchElectronics continuity probe comes in which has a special circuit arrangement to detect circuit continuity while minimising risk to the circuit under test!

Applications
The continuity probe kit is an excellent project for those who want to build their own test equipment. Furthermore, the use of circuit protection features makes the continuity probe ideal for measuring sensitive electronic devices including processors, memory, and sensors. The use of through-hole components also makes the continuity probe ideal for school projects from GCSE to A-Level.
