Claim:
1. A method of testing an integrated circuit of a device, comprising: holding the device against a surface of a holder; moving a contactor support structure relative to the holder to bring terminals of the contactor support structure into contact with contacts on the device; and providing signals through the terminals and contacts to the integrated circuit, wherein the contactor support structure includes a contactor substrate connected to a distribution board substrate with a first connecting arrangement, the first connecting arrangement including first and second connecting pieces with complementary interengaging formations that allow for movement of the contactor substrate relative to the distribution board substrate in a first radial direction and restricts movement of the contactor substrate relative to the distribution board substrate in a first tangential direction transverse to the first radial direction and with a second connecting arrangement, the second connecting arrangement including first and second connecting pieces with complementary interengaging formations that allow for movement of the contactor substrate relative to the distribution board substrate in a second radial direction and restricts movement of the contactor substrate relative to the distribution board substrate in a second tangential direction transverse to the second radial direction, wherein the second radial direction is at an angle relative to the first radial direction.
