Test clip with grounding adaptor for cable connector

摘要

A test clip and grounding adapter assembly comprises a conventional integrated circuit test clip of a type having parallel arrays of signal conductors retained in a pair of molded plastic arms biased closed on the leads of a unit under test. An adaptor in accordance with the invention having twice as many conductors as the test clip interconnects the test clip and a ribbon cable. The additional conductors within the adaptor interposed with the signal conductors in the clip are grounded to electrically shield the signal wires.
