NOTE: The top of the MEP-20 barrel is flared, enabling it to be "press-fit" directly into the probe plate, eliminating the need for a receptacle or epoxy. This "press fit" feature also permits the MEP-20 to be installed in a variety of probe plate thicknesses and to be replaced easily. Recommended Probe plate materials are G-10 and G-11. The MEP-20 is terminated with the use of a crimp tool, which attaches a wire directly to the probe in the same fashion that a wire is attached to a crimp style receptacle.
