ABSTRACT:
A probe cable assembly for use in connecting a monitoring instrument to an electronic SUT, to analyze the interaction between the system and a multiple terminal electronic component which can be fitted in a receptacle of the system, comprises a flexible circuit cable having an instrument end and a probe end. The cable comprises at least a first group of conductors that terminate at the probe end of the cable in respective termination areas in a predetermined array. The termination areas are exposed to one side of the cable and form respective terminals for the conductors. The cable assembly also comprises a stiffening element attached to the cable at its probe end at the opposite side of the cable. The stiffening element is capable of fitting in the receptacle of the SUT. When the stiffening element is fitted in the receptacle of the SUT, the termination areas of the conductors make direct pressure contact with the terminals in the receptacle of the SUT.
