A heat exchanger includes a thermally conductive housing within which a plurality of walls define a shaped flow space. The stream of temperature-controlled fluid flows through the shaped flow space and is in thermal communication with the housing. A thermally conductive probe is in thermal communication with the exterior of the housing of the heat ex- changer, the thermally conductive probe comprising a thermally conductive protrusion in thermal communication with the exterior of the housing of the heat exchanger, such that, when the thermally conductive probe makes con- 214 tact with a device under test (DUT), heat is conducted to or from DUT. 252 218 230 224 IN EMMEN= 256 © 228 254 IN I 258 ir) N im —, - ir) Fig. 5 ,-, 19, 119 IN 11 ei O WO 2017/155707 Al MIDEDIM011111 111111110101311111111101111111111111111111111111111111 SM, TR), OAPI (BF, BJ, CF, CG, CI, CM, GA, GN, GQ, Published: GW, KM, ML, MR, NE, SN, TD, TG). — with international search report (Art. 21(3)) Declarations under Rule 4.17: — as to applicant's entitlement to a patent (Rule 4.17(0) apply for and be granted
