Patent ID: 7057410

Claim:
An interface structure for use in a semiconductor integrated circuit tester for connecting a test head interface to a DUT interface, comprising: a first frame member having first and second opposite main faces, a second frame member having first and second opposite main faces and disposed with its second main face in substantially parallel, spaced, confronting relationship with the second main face of the first frame member, a first spacer member secured to the first frame member, a plurality of flexible conductors each connected between a terminal exposed at the first main face of the first frame member and a corresponding terminal exposed at the first main face of the second frame member, and a second spacer member secured to the second frame member and adapted to be secured to the first spacer member selectively in one of at least first and second different locations relative to the first spacer member, and wherein the first and second spacer members prevent relative movement of the first and second frame members when the second spacer member is secured to the first spacer member in either of the first and second locations, the first spacer member defines an oblong aperture that is symmetrical about a transverse axis, the second spacer member is located in the oblong aperture and has an oblong outer periphery that matches the oblong aperture defined by the first spacer member, and at least one of the first spacer member and the second spacer member includes formations allowing the second spacer member to be secured to the first spacer member selectively in the first location or the second locations, whereby when the second spacer member is secured to the first spacer member in said first location the second spacer member is located in the oblong aperture in a first orientation relative to said transverse axis and when the second spacer member is secured to the first spacer member in said second location the second spacer member is located in the oblong aperture in a second orientation relative to said transverse axis, the second orientation being different from the first orientation, and the second frame member is asymmetrical with respect to said transverse axis when the second spacer member is secured to the first spacer member in either of the first and second locations.
