I'm with Fred on this one. Get a socket, solder some pigtails to it
and use that, if you're worried.
I'd definitely do that if the plug were a mini-DIN. Standard DIN, not
so much. Just use a smaller probe with only the tip exposed through a
bit of "spaghetti".

Hello all,
Is there any good advice on avoiding shorts while testing a male DIN plug
with a multimeter? I'm trying to test my C64 power supply, but I'm very
nervous about accidentally shorting it in the process.
Thanks!

use a DIN socket, maybe even with pigtail
