Abstract

An electrical measurement contacting system for use with a component testing system operable to convey devices includes: a first module including a test contact module having a test contact adapted to electrically contact devices conveyed by the component testing system, and a second module including circuitry electrically coupled to the test contact module and operative to perform an electrical measurement on devices conveyed to the test contact. The circuitry is connected, within the second module, to a first conductive path and a second conductive path. The first conductive path and the second conductive path extend into the first module. The first conductive path and the second conductive path are electrically connected to each other and to the test contact module in the first module.

Claims (10)

1 . An electrical measurement contacting system for use with a component testing system operable to convey devices, the electrical measurement contacting system comprising:

a first module including a test contact module having a test contact adapted to electrically contact devices conveyed by the component testing system; and

a second module including circuitry electrically coupled to the test contact module and operative to perform an electrical measurement on devices conveyed to the test contact,

wherein the circuitry is connected, within the second module, to a first conductive path and a second conductive path,

wherein the first conductive path and the second conductive path extend into the first module, and

wherein the first conductive path and the second conductive path are electrically connected to each other and to the test contact module in the first module.

2 . The electrical measurement contacting system of claim 1 , wherein the first module and the second module are separable from one another, and wherein each of the first conductive path and the second conductive path includes a compliant electrical connector.

3 . The electrical measurement contacting system of claim 2 , wherein the compliant electrical connector includes a spring-loaded pin.

4 . The electrical measurement contacting system of claim 2 , wherein the second module is configured to be coupled to the component testing system.

5 . The electrical measurement contacting system of claim 4 , wherein the first module is removable from the second module.
