French term or phrase: poignard haute tension
This is in a final control report for a product. I only know the use of poignard to mean a sort of knife, so I am pretty perplexed!

1.3 - Préparation de la mesure :

Plonger les sondes dans le récipient contenant de l’eau salée à 5% pendant 1 heure.

- Mesure :

Tous les pôles de la sonde immergée étant reliés par un “ shunt ”, connecter le poignard haute tension sur ce “ shunt ” et appuyer sur la touche  “ mesure ”



Thanks!

of course, my bad...
'sondes' are definitely 'probes', not much choice
you could probably use 'high voltage terminal'

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Cyril, If you are translating poignard as probe how would you translate sonde? Sensor? I usually translate sonde as probe for this client.

Asker: Cyril, Do you understand what poignard means here? If so, could you explain it me, in French or in English? That might help me find the right term.
