1. An electrical device for probing signal information on a back-drilled plated through hole connector formed in a printed circuit board, comprising:

  • a conductive probe body comprising a distal tip region extending a predetermined minimum coverage length (LTIP) that is controlled to be longer than a recess depth dimension (DPL) for a recessed plating layer formed in a back-drilled plated through hole connector to be probed; and

    an elastomer test probe tip formed around the distal tip region of the conductive probe body and having a total tip width (WTIP) that is controlled to be compressed when inserted into the recessed plating layer formed in a back-drilled plated through hole connector to be probed, thereby establishing a conductive path between the conductive probe body and the recessed plating layer.
