ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a skirt of an integral resilient material having a L-shaped cross-section is disclosed, and in another embodiment a skirt of an integral resilient material having a F-shaped cross-section is disclosed. The skirts are for sealing the peripheral interface defined between relatively movable electronic circuit device receiving and probe support boards of a test fixture for automatic testing equipment (ATE). The skirts preferably are of an elastomeric material. In the F-shaped embodiment, the skirt is also self-seating against the lateral edge of the probe support board.
