Abstract:
1. A test fixture assembly for testing a printed circuit board comprising: a fixture including a first interface having a plurality of interface terminals adapted to electrically couple the fixture to a test device and a second interface having a plurality of interface terminals adapted to electrically couple the fixture to terminals on the printed circuit board and the plurality of interface terminals on the second interface being electrically coupled to the plurality of interface terminals on the first interface; an actuator operably coupled to the fixture to install the fixture relative to the test device and the actuator movably supporting to move the fixture between a first position to support the fixture at a position spaced from the test device and a second position to install the fixture relative to the test device to provide an electrical connection between the plurality of interface terminals on of the first interface of the fixture and the test device and including an actuator to bias the printed circuit board relative to the plurality of interface terminals of the second interface to provide an electrical connection to the test device; and a clamp assembly adapted to selectively secure the fixture relative to the actuator operably coupled to the fixture to install the fixture.
