wherein all of said plurality of sockets are provided with said performance board without an intervening socket board,
a plurality of sub boards mounted with peripheral circuits is electronically connected to said performance board,
said sub boards are stacked on said performance board, and
said performance board and one of said plurality of sub boards, or two of said plurality of sub boards are electrically connected by using a stacking connector.
2. The test section unit as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said performance board is one board.
3. The test section unit as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said test section unit is provided directly to said test head body.
4. The test section unit as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said test section unit is provided to said test head body through an interface member.
5. The test section unit as set forth in claim 1 , wherein circuits generating much heat are mounted on said performance board.
6. The test section unit as set forth in claim 1 , wherein one of said plurality of sub boards is provided on the opposite side of said sockets on said performance board.
7. The test section unit as set forth in claim 1 , wherein one of said plurality of sub boards is provided in parallel with said performance board.
8. The test section unit as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said performance board comprises a performance board plate, a performance board stiffener and a performance board connector.
9. The test section unit as set forth in claim 8 , wherein said performance board connector engages with a connector of the test head body or a connector of an interface member.
10. A test head, comprising:
a test head body; and
the test section unit as set forth in claim 1 provided to said test head body.
11. The test head as set forth in claim 10 , wherein said test section unit is provided directly to said test head body.
12. The test head as set forth in claim 10 , wherein said test section unit is provided to said test head body through an interface member.
13. An electronic device testing apparatus, comprising:
the test head as set forth in claim 10 ; and
an electronic device handling apparatus for handling electronic devices to be tested and attaching said electronic devices to sockets on said test head.
