ABSTRACT:
Low profile printed circuit board assembly test fixtures and methods are disclosed, the fixtures mountable at a tester having a plurality of conductive interface contacts. The fixture includes a low profile mount defined by a frame having an interface bed at one end and a dynamic plate movably positioned at an opposite end thereof, a chamber being thereby defined and having an opening for evacuating air therefrom to effect movement of the plate. A plurality of conductive terminals extend through the interface bed, each of the terminals having a node at one end positioned at the bottom surface of the bed and corresponding to the position of one of the conductive interface contacts of the tester. A plurality of conductive probes in the chamber are secured at the top surface of the bed, are coupled to the terminals, and extend through the plate. The electronic assembly is selectively positioned atop the plate for probe access.
