<p>A zero insertion force socket apparatus is described which includes a body (102) having a socket (104) extending into the body and designed to receive a gun mount assembly. The socket includes a central bore (108) extending through the body and a plurality of electrically conductive, deformable pin holders (110) seated in apertures (112) surrounding the central bore and extending into the body where the holders have an inside diameter greater than a diameter of a pin of a gun mount assembly for zero force insertion and removal. The apparatus also includes a plurality of electrical contacts (120) in electrical communication with the holders and having an exposed end for receiving electrical power. The apparatus also includes a gap (130) interposed between a top (132) and bottom portion (134) of the apparatus with an engagement member (136) movably fitted within the gap (130). The engagement member includes a holder engagement surface (142) and a coupling member (146) where the coupling member is designed to change the engagement member from a disengaged state to an engaged state. The disengaged state allows zero force insertion and removal, while the engaged state deforms the holders so that the holders make electrical contact with the pins of the gun mount assembly for testing of the assembly.</p> |
