Adhesively attached stand-offs on a portable pack for an electronics tester

摘要

The invention relates to a tester apparatus of the kind including a portable supporting structure for removably holding and testing a substrate carrying a microelectronic circuit. An interface on the stationary structure is connected to the first interface when the portable structure is held by the stationary structure and is disconnected from the first interface when the portable supporting structure is removed from the stationary structure. An electrical tester is connected through the interfaces so that signals may be transmitted between the electrical tester and the microelectronic circuit to test the microelectronic circuit.

主权项

1. A portable pack, comprising:
a portable supporting structure including first and second components for holding the substrate therebetween, the substrate carrying a microelectronic circuit and having a plurality of terminals connected to the microelectronic circuit; a plurality of contacts on the second component, the contacts matching the terminals for making contact to the terminals, and the components are movable relative to one another to ensure proper contact between the contacts and the terminals wherein the contacts are resiliently depressible by the terminals; a layer having a first side that is adhesive and attached to the second component and a second, opposite side that is adhesive; a stand-off is attached to the second side, the stand-off having a surface that limits depression of at least one of the contacts; and a first interface, on the portable supporting structure and connected to the contacts, for connection to a second interface on a stationary structure when the portable supporting structure is removable and held by the stationary structure.
