ABSTRACT:
A high speed edge connector tester having plural edge connector contacting is so movable as to plug and unplug the edge connector contacting probe contacts into and out of the edge connector of a unit under test. Plural automatic testing equipment (ATE) contacting probe contacts mounted to the carriage are individually connected to corresponding edge connector contacting contacts via non-flexing, minimum length electrically conductive wires. The linearly movable carriage, the edge contacting probe-contacts, and the automatic testing equipment contacting probe contacts, are mounted to a test fixture so movable as to electrically connect the ATE contacting probe contacts with the automatic testing equipment. A minimum path length electrical interconnection is established between the automatic testing equipment and the edge connector of the unit under test via the several probes and interconnecting wires.
