发明名称 Test fixture having a floating self-centering connector
摘要 A test fixture including a fixture body and a self-centering or floating connector body positioned adjacent to a first side of the fixture body. The connector body is made of a polymeric material. Spaced apart sleeves extending through the fixture body. A first end of each one of the sleeves includes a threaded portion engaged with a corresponding threaded portion in the connector body. Each one of the sleeves defines a respective longitudinal axis. A head is attached to a second end of each one of the sleeves. Each head includes a tapered portion engaging a tapered seat provided on a second side of the fixture body. An alignment pin extends axially through each one of the sleeves along the respective longitudinal axis. Each pin includes a shaft, a flange attached to the shaft and an end protruding from the connector body. A first spring member is axially carried by each pin. Each first spring is compressed between the flange of the respective pin and the fixture body. A second spring member is axially is carried by each one of the sleeves. Each second spring is compressed between the fixture body and the connector body. The connector body exhibits a floating action during engagement with a connector of a device being tested. The connector body is also self-centering such that it accurately and reliably returns to a nominal position when disengaged from the device being tested.
