ABSTRACT:
A substantially planar (in an x-y plane) probing tip includes a probing tip body and two test point connector projections. The first test point connector projection is movably attached to the body to allow motion therebetween. The second test point connector projection is also attached to the body. The motion actuator actuates motion that the motion translator, in turn, converts to move at least one of the test point connector projection connection ends in a third dimension out of the x-y plane. The probing tip has an open position in which the relative distance between the test point connector projections is relatively large. The probing tip also has a closed position in which the relative distance between the test point connector projections is relatively small. In one alternative preferred embodiment, the second test point connector projection body end is also movably attached to the body to allow motion therebetween.
