Mounting bracket for test probes

摘要

A mounting bracket for test probes for use in testing electronic circuitry. By placing a printed circuit board (PCB) from a shelf of interconnected PCBs in an extender card connected to the shelf, a mounting bracket may be attached to the extender card. The mounting bracket allows test probe assemblies to be placed anywhere over the PCB being tested. A system is thereby created wherein any point to be tested on the PCB may be readily accessed. The system may be used to test PCBs employing flat-pack, dual in-line, or surface mount integrated circuit (IC) technology. The mounting bracket is useful for testing PCBs in situations where the PCB must be operating as part of a larger, combined circuitry such as used in the telecommunications industry.
