ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for evaluating the integrity of each contact pin of an electronic component having multiple contact pins. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a test device and a measuring instrument. The test device comprises a component fixture configured to hold an electronic component under test and opposing contact plates for establishing electrical communication between the contact pins of the electronic component and the measuring instrument. The test device may include separate linear positioners associated with each opposing contact plate configured to move the contact plates relative to the component fixture and electronic component under test. The measuring instrument measures at least one electrical characteristic of a pin contact. In another embodiment, the apparatus further includes a system controller in communication with the measuring instrument and configured to control functioning of the measuring instrument.
