1. A non-contact voltage detector slidably attachable to a test and measurement device, the voltage detector comprising:

  • a housing;

    a first set of rails forming a first plane and defining a first mounting interface for attachment to the test and measurement device;

    a second set of rails forming a second plane and defining a second mounting interface for attachment to the test and measurement device, the first plane and the second plane being approximately parallel to one another;

    a voltage sense circuit located within the housing;

    a voltage sense indicator and an LED flashlight located within an upper portion of the housing; and

    a lower portion of the housing including a switch operable to activate the LED flashlight and the voltage sense circuit, the voltage sense indicator being illuminated independently of the LED flashlight when the voltage sense circuit senses a voltage,wherein the first set of rails and the second set of rails are each configured for slidably attachment to the test and measurement device, andwherein the switch is positioned between the first set of rails and the second set of rails.
