ABSTRACT:
An adapter for interfacing a tester with the leads of a dual-flatpack or quad-flatpack is disclosed herein. The adapter includes lengths of a conductive elastomer for making electrical contact with the rows of leads extending from the flatpack. The lengths of conductive elastomer are each located within a slot formed in a body of the adapter and are exposed within a depression in the adapter, where the width and length of the depression correspond to the width and length of the flatpack. The adapter is frictionally secured to the flatpack when the adapter is pressed onto the flatpack. The resilient conductive elastomer makes reliable contact to the leads of the flatpack.
