ABSTRACT:
A test fixture for testing circuit boards includes a field of upwardly projecting test probes. The circuit board to be tested includes a plurality of test points to be contacted by a corresponding test probe. The circuit board is fixed to a floating guide plate having apertures therethrough aligned with the test points. As the floating guide plate is lowered over the test probes the guide plate is permitted to float in a lateral direction to achieve proper alignment between the probes and the apertures. Once aligned, the probes continue to pass through the apertures to make contact with their respective test points.
