Self-aligning test fixture for printed circuit board

摘要

A printed circuit board ("PCB") test fixture is provided comprising a PCB support, an electrical tester (30), first and second enclosure portions (200,300), and an actuator. The PCB support is configured for supporting a PCB (100) being tested in a PCB test position. The first enclosure portion includes a pressing device (40) which is configured for effecting, with respect to a PCB supported in the PCB test position on the PCB support, pressing of a circuit of the PCB against the electrical tester so as to provide an operative circuit. The second enclosure portion extending peripherally about the PCB support. The actuator is coupled to a one of the first enclosure portion and the second enclosure portion and configured to effect an application of force to the one of the first enclosure portion and the second enclosure portion. The PCB support is disposed between the first and second enclosure portions.
