ABSTRACT:
A connection interface system positions and electrically connects a testing device to a device under test. The testing device exercises and tests the device under test. The connection interface system includes a receiver module electrically connected to the device under test and including receiver electrical connectors. The receiver module includes a top frame and a bottom frame, movable with respect to the top frame and operatively connected thereto. The bottom frame includes at least one receiver module having at least one receiver electrical connector. The receiver module further includes an engagement mechanism movably connected to the bottom frame and to the top frame which either engages or disengages the bottom frame and the top frame in response to an external stimulus to engage or disengage receiver electrical connectors in the bottom frame to external electrical connectors. The connection interface device also includes an interchangeable test adapter electrically connected to the testing device, coupled to the receiver module and including test electrical connectors which are engaged with the receiver electrical connectors permitting the testing device to exercise and test the device under test.
