Claim:
1. A method of terminating one or more electrical contact locations on an electronic device, the method comprising: forming a first electrical contact between a first end of a contact element mechanically coupled with a platform and a surface mount technology (SMT) component forming a second electrical contact between a second end of the contact element and an electric contact location on an electronic device, wherein a non-conductive vacuum suction membrane adheres to a surface of the electronic device by suction pressure to facilitate the second electrical contact, wherein the non-conductive vacuum suction membrane is mechanically coupled to an end of a non-conductive screw, wherein the screw has at least a portion housed within the platform; and measuring bending of the contact element using a depth gauge structure wherein the depth gauge structure is movable along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the platform, and wherein a measurement of movement of the depth gauge structure corresponds to a measurement of bending of the contact element.
