Abstract:
1. An AC charging contact mechanism for use with a battery emulator, for testing a device under test having first and second AC charging contacts on opposite sides of the device under test, the device under test having a battery compartment, the AC charging contact mechanism comprising: a first conductive element, the AC charging contact mechanism having a first state in which the first conductive element is positioned to make contact with the first AC charging contact of the device under test having first and second AC charging contacts on opposite sides of the device under test, and the AC charging contact mechanism having a second state in which the first conductive element is positioned away from making contact with the first AC charging contact of the device under test; a pin and spring mechanism comprising a pin for holding the AC charging contact mechanism in one of the first state and the second state, and a spring for biasing the AC charging contact mechanism towards the other of the first state and the second state.
