ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for making electrical contact with test points on a generally thin planar test member. The test member is mounted for movement to a location for test. A plurality of conductive probe heads, each having a contact point are arranged so that the contact points lie generally in a plane that is co-planar with the location for test. At least one flexible inflator is mounted adjacent the test member. Upon distension, the inflator urges the test member against the probe heads such that the contact points of the probe heads contact selected test points on the test member.
