Patent ID: 8633721

Claim:
An automated electronics circuit test cassette assembly for mating with a test platform, the cassette assembly comprising: a test probe support substrate; a plurality of test probes is arranged in a predetermined test pattern to mate with and test a target electronics assembly, the test probes being assembled to the test probe support substrate; a common interface test probe set is provided in signal communication with the plurality of test probes, wherein the common interface test probe set are provided for mating with and providing signal communication to a plurality of common interface test probe contacts of the test platform; at least two cassette alignment bushings attached to the test probe support substrate, the cassette alignment bushings comprising a registration receptacle extending inward from a mating edge thereof, and a vacuum port passing therethrough, the cassette alignment bushings being positioned to align and mate with a registration and vacuum supply coupler extending from a vacuum supply manifold of the test platform providing a vacuum passage between the vacuum supply manifold and an upper surface of the test probe support substrate; a printed circuit assembly test support member having a series of test probe apertures, the test probe apertures having a pattern mimicking the predetermined pin test pattern; and a vacuum seal provided between the test probe support substrate and the printed circuit assembly test support member.
