Patent ID: 8441275

Claim:
A test module for supporting and making electrical contact and external signal connection to a device under test (DUT) having a plurality of external terminals, the test module comprising: a) a generally planar dielectric housing having an upper surface, a lower surface and a) plurality of cavities that extend generally vertically from the upper surface to the lower surface, b) a forked regulator disposed in at least a portion of the plurality of cavities and having a base and a pair of arms that extend upward from the base, c) at least one transversal disposed in rotary engagement within said forked regulator and having; i) a rounded basal region for permitting rotary motion within the regulator, and ii) a curved armature extending upward from the basal region beyond the pair of arms of the forked regulator and terminating in an upper appendage having an upward facing surface for making a signal transmitting contact with external terminals of a DUT, iii) means for rotary movement of the basal region of the transversal within said forked regulator whereby an external terminal of a DUT impinging vertically on the upper appendage results in the vertical and then horizontal movement in a first lateral direction thereof with respect to an initial point of contact of the external terminal of the DUT.
