In summary, four probes terminals can be interchanged without causing damage or malfunction. This provides flexibility and convenience in testing different devices and allows for easier troubleshooting. As long as the terminals are compatible and used correctly, it is safe to interchange them. However, it is important to consult manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for limitations and compatibility. Interchanging four probes terminals between different brands is generally not recommended for optimal performance.

Will there be any problem if we interchange the terminals of the four probe?

Are you talking about an ohmmeter?

If the jack sizes are the same, and if the wire resistance is the same, there should be no problem. However, since multiple wires are often color coded on purpose, it could get confusing on what to connect those wires to after inserted in that way.
So, unless you "have" to do it, I wouldn't.
