ABSTRACT:
An adjustable angle extender card is used to hot-test a circuit pack having electrical connectors that connect to back plane electrical connectors in an electrical cabinet when the circuit pack is inserted into the electrical cabinet. The extender card comprises a rigid basic board that can be inserted into the electrical cabinet and a rigid circuit pack card guide that accepts the circuit pack. The basic board includes plural replication electrical connectors, arranged along one edge of a substrate, for connection to the back plane electrical cabinet connectors when the basic board is inserted into the electrical cabinet, and plural basic board electrical connectors arranged along an opposite edge of the substrate. Corresponding replication connectors and basic board connectors are electrically connected. The card guide includes plural emulation electrical connectors disposed proximate to an edge of the card guide for connection to the circuit pack electrical connectors when the circuit pack is in the card guide. The basic board and the card guide are hinged together at the edges where the connectors are disposed so that the angle between the basic board and the card guide can be adjusted. A flexible electrical cable electrically connects corresponding replication and emulation connectors to permit adjustment of the relative angular orientation of the basic board and the card guide.
