Depends on what you mean by "good results".

We commonly use .032", but our production quantities are low enough that the
smaller probes needed don't break as often.  If you are talking high-volume
production, your assembler would probably prefer to use a larger probe that
doesn't break as often.

I'm trying to find out if anybody out there has been using test points
smaller than .040" in dia. with good results?

Thanks
