ABSTRACT:
A pneumatically controlled electrical test connector contains spring loaded pins whose ends are brought into electrical contact with the opposing ends of corresponding connector pins of an electronic module. The pins of the pneumatically controlled connector have recesses in one of their ends to center the ends of the module connector pins. Pneumatic cylinders produce substantial force between the opposing pins of the test and module connectors to thereby cause good electrical contact at the contacting pin ends. The spring on each pin accommodates the mechanical tolerances of the pin lengths and causes the force on each pin to be substantially equal. Commercially available connectors are slipped onto the other ends of the test connector pins for wiring of the test connector to a test set.
