ABSTRACT:
An electrical test connector for a small outline surface mount technology (SO SMT) package or the like comprises an insulative body which holds the test conductors in an arrangement at one end to connect to the leads of the SO SMT package under test without causing accidental short circuits, and at the other end in a second, more widely spaced arrangement to facilitate the connection of test leads. The test clip is held in place by two gripping members which grip the opposing ends of the SO SMT package. A slide unit, when in the test position, supplies the force which causes the gripping members to grip the ends of the SO SMT package. Removal of the test connector from the SO SMT package is easily achieved by moving the slide unit to the release position where it does not supply the force to the gripping members to grip the SO SMT package tightly. The ambit or "footprint" of the test connector is substantially the same as the ambit of the SO SMT package including the leads.
