Electrode spacing conversion adaptor

摘要

An electrode spacing conversion adaptor is formed of a plurality of sheet elements having top and bottom electrodes arrayed at different intervals along upper and lower ends of each sheet element, respectively, wherein the top electrodes are individually connected to their corresponding bottom electrodes by intermediate conductors. The individual sheet elements are angled such that the upper portions of the sheet elements carrying the top electrodes are stacked at intervals different from intervals at which the lower portions carrying the bottom electrodes are stacked. The individual sheet elements may be stacked to form laminated pieces in such a way that the bottom electrodes are concentrated in a small area while the top electrodes are distributed over a larger area at greater intervals in two horizontal directions. In this construction, the geometric arrangement of any two test points selected on a fine-pitch conductor pattern of a printed wiring board is enlarged at the top electrodes and electrical connections from the test points to external test equipment can be easily established.
