Embodiments of the IDC include a first side having a first set of pads for mounting I/O's of a test package; and a second side having a second set of pads coupled to the first set of pads for replicating the first set of pads, wherein the second set of pads is located in area of the interposer card horizontally offset from the first set of pads, such that ATE measurements are obtained by removably inserting only a portion of the interposer card containing the second set of pads into an ATE test socket.
