ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for interfacing a circuit board to a testing system includes a support structure movably supporting a pair of first and second test heads in confronting relationship, at least the first test head having a plurality of probes with which to contact test points on a circuit board to be tested. Actuating components enable movement of the test heads from a spaced apart loading position to a more closely spaced apart testing position in which each one of the probes is urged into contact with a respective one of the test points. An electrical bus interfaces a separate testing system to at least the first test head, and a plurality of operator accessible, electrically conductive contacts that are each electrically connected to a respective one of the lines of the electrical bus, enables convenient electrical connection to the lines for diagnostic purposes. One form of the invention causes the test heads to pivot from the loading position and then advance linearly to the testing position so that movement of the probes across the test points is limited, while test head alignment components retain the test heads in precise alignment.
