ABSTRACT:
A carrier for use in testing circuit boards includes a carrier frame adapted to be mounted vertically within a test chamber and a plurality of circuit board mounting modules for supporting at least one circuit board. The circuit board carrier frame has a plurality of vertically oriented module supports provided thereon and each of the circuit board mounting modules is constructed and arranged to be releasably mounted in one of the module supports. A first electrical connector assembly is mounted on the carrier frame for being connected to a source of electrical energy and test signals and a plurality of second electrical connector assemblies are each connected in circuit with the first electrical connector assembly and are located respectively adjacent the module supports and a third electrical connector assembly is mounted on each of the modules and each is adapted to be connected to one of the second electrical connector assemblies. A plurality of electrical contacts are located on the circuit board mounting modules for engaging individual portions of the circuit board to provide energy and control signals thereto and releasable retainers are pivotally mounted on each module for securing individual circuit boards in the module and in engagement with the electrical contacts.
