ADAPTER ARRANGEMENT FOR ELECTRICALLY CONNECTING FLAT WIRE CARRIERS

摘要

A device for electrically connecting contact points of a test specimen (circuit board) to the electrical contact points of a testing device includes an adapter board having a plurality of contacts arranged on each side thereof. Cushion-like plugs made from an electrically conductive resilient material are provided on each of the contact points to equalize the height variations of the contact points of the test specimen. An adapter board is also provided made of a film-like material having inherent flexibility to equalize the height variations of the contact points of the test specimen. Furthermore, an adapter board is provided for cooperating with a grid made of an electrically insulated resilient material and having a plurality of plugs made from an electrically conductive resilient material extending therethrough.
