COMPENSATION TOOL FOR CALIBRATING AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT TESTING MACHINE TO A STANDARDIZED VALUE

摘要

A compensation tool and process is provided for calibrating each test position located at a plurality of test modules of an electronic testing machine to a standardized value. Each test module is located on an angularly spaced radial line extending from an associated central axis and has a plurality of contacts for testing electronic components. The compensation tool includes a body having an axis of rotation coaxially alignable with the central axis for rotation to different angular positions, and a component-support member operably associated with the body for indexing movement to selectively align with different contacts associated with each test position. The component-support member includes a pocket for receiving an electronic component with terminated ends extending outwardly to allow electrical contact and testing at each test position.
