Patent ID: 8847618

Claim:
A self adapting tester capable of adapting to test for testing a circuit board/unit under test (UUT) regardless of the board is planar, comprising: a. a bed for receiving a UUT; b. a push finger plate including a plurality of spaced apart apertures; c. a plurality of push fingers sized to be sildeably received within said apertures; d. a locking plate generally coplanar with said push finger plate said locking plate including a plurality of apertures generally collinearly aligned with said apertures in said push finger plate; e. a drive for moving one of said plates relative the other so that said plates have a first position where the apertures are generally collinearly aligned and second position where the apertures are partially out of alignment, so that the push fingers are capable of sliding generally orthogonally thru the plates when they are in the first position and are locked from sliding when the plates are in the second position so that pressure is generally applied equally across the UUT by the push fingers when they are allowed to contact the UUT in the first position and locked in the second position.
